120 g unsalted butter, softened

1.50 tbsp black treacle

170 g soft light brown sugar

0.50 tsp fine sea salt

1 medium egg

200 g plain flour

0.25 tsp bicarbonate of soda

0.25 tsp ground cloves

1.50 tsp ground ginger

0.50 tsp ground cinnamon

60 g golden caster sugar

Beat together the butter, treacle, brown sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, then beat through all of the remaining dry ingredients apart from the caster sugar.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for 1 hr.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Roll the mixture into 20 even-sized balls (weighing for accuracy, if you like).

Tip the caster sugar onto a small plate, then add each ball and roll around to coat. Space each ball out on the baking sheets.

Bake for 9-10 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
