To make the dough

Step 1

Cream the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl a few times.

Step 2

Add in half of the beaten egg (about 41g) and a few drops or 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, funfetti sprinkles, mini white chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips.

Step 4

Slowly add the dry mix to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

Now, you have the dough ready for your cookies. To make 30 cookies:

Step 1

Divide the dough into 30 equal portions.

Step 2

Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 3

Place the balls on baking sheets.

Step 4

Bake at 170°C (130°C on the dial for a large oven) for approximately 6-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be sure to keep an eye on them as they bake and adjust the time if needed.

Step 5

After the first bake, gently flatten and shape the cookies using a round cutter, if desired.

Step 6

Bake again for another 5-6 minutes, or until the cookies are fully set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.

TOP TIP

Enjoy your batch of 30 Funfetti cookies! You can also prepare the buttercream for cookie sandwiches using the instructions mentioned in the original recipe.

Key initiatives funded by our Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association. This pilot project engaged women across four communities in Belize, providing them with essential skills in financial literacy, economic opportunities, and hands-on training. 

These women, including Elsa Perez, learned to manage their sugarcane revenues, explore small business entrepreneurship, and diversify their income sources.

Perfect for cosying up on chilly days, our creamy caramel latte is really easy to make, with a splash of our Barista Collection caramel syrup. Here’s how…

120ml Semi-skimmed milk
100ml Freshly brewed coffee
15ml Tate & Lyle caramel coffee syrup
5ml Tate & Lyle demerara sugar (optional)

Heat the milk and syrup in a small pan till frothy.
Turn down the heat, stirring in the coffee (and sugar if you like).
Pour and enjoy.

☕️ Our syrups are all vegan, so if you switch up your milk, your latte can be too.

The perfect Valentine’s cocktail? It’s got to be a smooth, creamy hazelnut espresso martini – and just for you, we’ve put together our best recipe.

We’ve chosen slow-roasted Mayan Gold coffee from @cafedirect because its caramel flavours pair perfectly with our Barista Collection hazelnut syrup.

Just pour everything over ice in a cocktail shaker, shake it up and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish with a few whole roasted coffee beans. Happy Valentine’s ❤️

45ml Vodka
30ml Hot Cafédirect Mayan Gold coffee
15ml Espresso coffee liqueur
7.5ml Hazelnut liqueur
7.5ml Tate & Lyle hazelnut syrup

Get your Tate & Lyle hazelnut syrup at the link in @tateandlylesugars’ bio.

Please drink responsibly.

Research shows that in Central American countries, like Belize where most of our Fairtrade sugar is grown, women typically earn a third less than men, and less than half of women are part of the workforce (compared to 78% in the UK). 

Since 2008, Tate & Lyle's Fairtrade licensed sales in the UK have contributed an estimated £32 million in Fairtrade Premium. Initiatives funded by the brand’s Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association.
