Method

Preheat oven to 170°C

1.     Cream butter, golden syrup and brown sugar until light and fluffy, stir in almond meal.

2.     Sift plain flour with the bi-carb soda, ginger, mixed spice and cinnamon. Add currants and butter mixture, bring the mixture together to form a soft dough, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

3.     Roll dough on a floured surface to 5mm thickness. Using your favourite Christmas cutter shape, cut out 30 pieces and arrange on a baking paper lined oven tray. Using a straw cut out a hole at the top of the biscuit to thread ribbon through. Bake for 15 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks.

To Decorate:

Dress the cooled biscuits with piped white chocolate, coloured cachous, cranberries and currants. Once the chocolate is set thread each biscuit with a length of ribbon, tying a knot or bow and hang on your Christmas tree.
