Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I'm having a huge baking day

Just because there is golden syrup you still need sugar.

And using brown sugar instead of white helps it give the darker colour and a richer flavour.

It's the same as Anzac biscuits , you use both sugar and golden syrup.

I have used both brown sugar abd golden syrup together in many recipes
