Syrupy cookies

I know these aren't strictly cupcakes, but they are incredibly yummy.I made these syrupy cookies to take away camping this weekend,they're easy and very quick to make and a sweet treat perfect for wrapping up for lunch boxes or sharing with friends over coffee. If you fancy whipping up your own batch then here's my recipe:

(makes approx 16 cookies)

100g unsalted butter
100g caster sugar
200g self raising flour
1 tbsp golden syrup
a few drops of vanilla extract

Pre-heat you oven to Gas 5 / 190 oc and line a large baking tray.

Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and creamy. Fold in flour and syrup until a soft dough is formed.

Using the palm of your hands roll the mixture into small balls, place on the baking tray and then press each one down lightly with the back of a fork

Bake for 6-10 minutes, once golden and cooked remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking tray and then transfer to a wire cooling rack and leave to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.
