Preheat oven to 180ºc/160ºc fan/350ºf/gas 4. Line 2 large baking trays / sheet pans with baking paper.
Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a medium saucepan over a low heat until just melted. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
Make walnut size balls of the mixture (can use a tablespoon measure to get heaped spoonfuls of the mixture. Ice cream scoops will be too big). Roll the spoonfuls of mixture briefly in your hands. Add to lined baking trays, 6 per tray (you many need an extra baking tray).
Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until edges are deep golden. Leave to cool 10 mins, then transfer to racks.
Once cooled off, melt the white chocolate. To do this, break it up into a bowl then microwave for 30 secs, stir and microwave for another 20 secs and stir until melted (you may need to put it in for a further 20 secs). Get a tall glass and pop in a piping bag, or food bag, with the end you will pip from down. Fold the open end of the bag over the outside of the glass and carefully pour in the white chocolate. Close the open end of the bag with a food bag clip, or tie it. Snip open the other end, (you only want a small opening) and then immediately start piping. Work quickly, from left to right back and forth across the top of the cookies in turn. Once done, carefully transfer the cookies on the rack to the fridge for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
Baby & Toddler
Not suitable for under 12 months. For toddlers can omit the sugar and use honey instead of golden syrup and leave chocolate off if you prefer.
