Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Thoroughly wash the glass jar and dry it.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, spices, and baking soda. Add the sugar and stir until no lumps remain. Then gradually add the remaining dry ingredients according to the list, mixing after each addition.

3. 3

   When all dry ingredients are gathered, seal the jar tightly with its lid. Place the apple on the lid and tie it with the long colored ribbon. This mixture will keep for up to 4 days.

4. 4

   Upload the ready-made label (see tips) or write the instructions on the sticky label and attach it to the jar. Then:

5. 5

   • Pour the jar’s contents into a large bowl and grate the apple.

6. 6

   • In a small saucepan melt 50 g butter, add 2 tbsp golden syrup and stir.

7. 7

   • Add the melted butter‑syrup to the bowl, add the beaten egg and quickly knead the dough.

8. 8

   • Using a table spoon, place 10 portions of dough onto a buttered parchment‑lined baking tray.

9. 9

   • Bake for 15–18 min at 180 °C (160 °C with convection/gas 4) until the cookies turn golden and springy. After baking let them cool – they will firm up as they cool.
