Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
• Do not overmix the dough once the flour and cornstarch are added, as it can result in tough cookies.
• If the dough is too soft to roll into balls, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up.
• For a variation, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the buttercream filling for a citrusy twist.
• These cookies can also be enjoyed on their own without the buttercream filling.

Storage and Serving

• Store the Golden Syrup Melting Moments in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Serve these cookies as a sweet treat with a cup of tea or coffee.
• They are also great for gifting during the holiday season.
