My favorite thing about these treacle slice and bake cookies is how wonderfully simple they are to make. You mix everything together, chill the dough, slice, and bake in just under an hour total. The treacle gives them this deep, rich flavor that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen, but honestly you won't. Brown sugar adds natural minerals and molasses that keep your energy steady, so these feel a bit more nourishing than your average cookie. They're perfect for when you want homemade goodness without the fuss, and the dough even keeps well in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.
