Ingredients

• ✓ baking soda
• flour
• butter
• sugar
• vanilla sugar
• golden syrup

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda.
2. 2 In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and golden syrup; mix well. Stir in the flour and mix until just incorporated. Form dough into two, 1 inch thick elongated rolls the length of your cookie pan. Place them on the cookie pan with enough space in between for them to spread.
3. 3 Bake in preheated oven until they are light golden brown and have flattened; about 20 to 22 minutes if using margarine, or 13 to 15 minutes if using butter. Remove from oven and let cool slightly for about 3 minutes. Cut diagonally into 1 to 2 inch strips while still warm. Remove individual cookies to cool on a wire rack.

Ingredients

• ✓ baking soda
• butter
• white sugar
• golden syrup
• water
• vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1 Grease a rimmed 8x12-inch baking pan and line bottom and sides with parchment paper, making sure the parchment sides reach at least 2 inches above the sides of the baking sheet. Grease parchment with butter.
2. 2 Combine sugar, golden syrup, water, and vanilla extract in a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, but do not stir. Heat to 310 degrees F (155 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads, about 10 minutes. Brush the sides of the pan with a clean pastry brush dipped in water if any sugar crystals form on the sides of the pan.
3. 3 Remove from heat and carefully add baking soda; stir quickly until foaming subsides and mixture turns golden. Pour into the prepared baking pan immediately. Cool until set, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size chunks to serve.

Ingredients

• ✓ baking soda
• egg
• honey
• all-purpose flour
• sour cream
• sugar
• walnut

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set out five 9x13-inch sheets of parchment paper.
2. 2 Make the cake: Mix eggs, honey, flour, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Spoon 1/5 of the batter (3 to 4 tablespoons) onto each sheet of parchment paper. Spread the batter as thin as possible using a wide spatula. Carefully place one sheet of batter onto a rimmed baking sheet.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Lift the parchment and remove the baked cake layer from the baking sheet; prick the cake with a fork to enhance filling absorbency. Repeat to bake the remaining four cake layers.
4. 4 Make the filling: Stir sour cream and sugar together in a small bowl. Invert one cake layer into a 9x13-inch baking dish; carefully remove the parchment paper. Spread 1/5 of the sour cream mixture onto the cake, then sprinkle with 1/5 of the walnuts. Repeat the process with the remaining four layers, sour cream, and walnuts. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Trim off any ragged edges before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ baking soda
• all-purpose flour
• white sugar
• butter
• egg
• turbinado sugar
• semisweet chocolate
• sea salt

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower third. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. 2 Whisk flour, sugar, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Set aside.
3. 3 Beat butter using the paddle attachment of an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Gradually add flour mixture and beat on medium-low speed until just combined, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into quarters.
4. 4 Working with one quarter at a time, roll dough between 2 large sheets of parchment until 1/8-inch thick. Chill between the parchment on a baking sheet until firm, about 15 minutes.
5. 5 Cut out enough cookies to fill the 2 baking sheets with 2-by-1 1/2-inch rectangles or your desired shapes. Arrange 1 inch apart on the sheets. Brush tops of cookies with some of the egg and sprinkle evenly with a portion of turbinado sugar. Keep unused dough in the fridge.
6. 6 Bake cookies, 2 sheets at a time, until pale golden, 14 to 15 minutes, rotating pans after 7 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for about 5 minutes, then carefully move them to a wire rack to cool completely before dipping. Cut, brush, and bake the remaining cookie dough in the meantime.
7. 7 Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes. Either dip cookies halfway in chocolate mixture and let excess drip off, or use a fork and drizzle chocolate Jackson Pollack-style over cookies over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle salt over chocolate. Let rest until chocolate sets, about 1 hour.
