Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon liner.

Mix the first 6 (dry) ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.

Combine the butter, golden syrup, molasses, sugar on low heat until the mixture has melted.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix thoroughly.

Spoon teaspoons of the mixture, well spaced apart on the baking sheets and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

If the cookies have blended you can separate them while they are still hot. Cool on the sheet and then transfer to a wire rack, lined with a paper towel to absorb some of the oil from the butter.

Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl placed on top of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water).

Use a pastry brush to paint the bottom of each cookie with chocolate and let set chocolate side up.

Paint another and thicker chocolate layer and make some decorative squiggles or marks with a fork in the chocolate before it sets.

These are best the day you make them but will freeze will enough for your next tea party while you dream of Fortnums.
