Orange gingerbread cookies
Background
These dairy-free orange gingerbread cookies are perfect for the winter holiday season - starting from Halloween all the way to Valentine’s Day. Using the appropriate cookie cutters you can stamp out festive shapes such as gingerbread men, stars, Xmas trees, hearts and so on. Nicely frosted they'd make lovely gifts or Christmas tree decorations. I just like to snack on them during the day so I don't decorate them. You can make the dough ahead and keep it in the fridge until baking or make two batches and keep one in the freezer for later use.

- 2 Tbsp golden syrup
- 50g dairy-free spread softened
- ½ cup muscovado sugar
