- Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the syrup and eggs. Sift together the flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves in a separate bowl; add to the butter mixture; knead into a stiff dough. Pat into a flat circle and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Roll the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface to about 1 cm thickness. Cut the dough using a star-shaped biscuit cutter. Place biscuits 3cm apart on ungreased baking trays.
- Bake in preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

I got only 38 cookies from this recipe. My cookie cutter must be twice the size. Over all the cookies came out good. - 03 Oct 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

These cookies were simple and quick to put together. The taste was light and sweet, but did not feed 60. - 22 Apr 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
