Get cookie cooking!
Cookies and Christmas go together like left and right, fish and chips, and night and day. Christmas cookies are the perfect gift to give teachers, neighbors, hostesses and those folk you don’t know well enough to buy for.
Plus, your home will smell divine when you are baking! I love baking cookies although I try not to make them too often. Because I’m very likely to sample one or three and then i must make more. Sampling again which is not great for my waistline.
Enjoy these gorgeous Christmas cookie recipes and bask in the grateful feedback you will get from delighted recipients.
