Step 1
Preheat the oven to 170°C . Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
Combine the flour, pantry strays, spice, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder in a bowl.
Step 3
Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time until well combined.
Step 4
Add the sticky sweetener and continue to mix on medium speed, then fold the dry ingredients into the creamed butter until just combined.
Step 5
Fold through your choice of chopped extras.
Step 6
Divide the mixture in half and set one portion aside. With the rest, roll into 50 g balls and flatten slightly, then arrange on the prepared tray with room to spread.
Step 7
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through but still a little soft, then allow to cool for 5 minutes on the tray. Set aside to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Step 8
Roll the remaining dough into a thick log, wrap well and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for a few months. You can slice straight off the log and bake from frozen.
