Ingredients

6 ounces margarine
1 ounce Cornish butter
8 ounces caster sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
16 ounces flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 ounces chopped-up chocolate
4 ounces glace cherries, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 220C (425F GM7). Grease baking trays lightly. Mix well together in a large bowl the margarine, sugar and syrup. Add the flour, baking powder, cherries and chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly. The dough should be slightly crumbly and just holding together when you squeeze it. Press walnut-sized balls onto baking trays, and bake in the oven for 8 minutes (until just starting to turn brown). Makes approximately 70.
