Cream the butter for the cookie dough and add the other ingredients. Pat into a greased jelly roll pan. (Australians have a slice pan that's slightly smaller than our jelly roll pans. I just pat the dough out until it's the right thickness, without filling the entire pan.) Bake in a 350° oven until the dough is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately make the icing.

Icing: Melt the butter for the icing, add treacle, mix in sugar and spices. Spread on cookie dough while the dough is hot. Cut when the dough has cooled a bit and enjoy (in spite of the calories, or maybe because of the calories).
