I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Pre-heat oven to 180°C
Line the baking trays with grease proof paper.
Put all the dry ingredients into TM bowl.
Add butter and combine 30 seconds, speed 4 or until it looks like bread crumbs.
Stir in the sugar then the syrup and the beaten egg 30 seconds.
Knead
"Dough mode" together 3 minutes to form a smooth pastry dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface or thermomat roll out the dough to be about 8mm thick.
Using a 5cm straight-sided round cutter, cut out biscuits until all the biscuit dough is used up.
OR
Weigh out dough in 36 x 20g or 48 x15g balls, placing them onto the prepared baking trays ensuring enough room is left for slight expansion of the biscuit about 3cm on either side of ball.
Place another piece grease proof paper on top and using another tray of the same size press firmly down. Walh! flat biscuit discs.
Chill on the baking trays for 20 minutes or so in fridge.
Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Let sit in trays for few minutes to cool slightly.
Remove from tray and place on a cooling rack.

Thanks Angie, Glad you and the family enjoyed them.
I also made them for the festive season as gifts, but I made mine as 4 tiers of stars of different sizes forming into Christmas Trees coated in green spearmint icing and used Rolo type chocolate as tree trunks to seperate each star, topped with a Jelly Tot as the star.
Sadly I forgot to take a photo.
