So this year I
attempted a lot of chocolate inspired cookies. Some filled with strawberries,
some decorated, some just plain delicious. I then packed them nicely into a
pretty box, put the decorations on (seen below) and ended with pretty ribbons.
I give these away as Christmas presents to my family every year. Even sold a
few this year.
But let me just tell
you baking is a lot of work. I thought when the clock struck 1 in the morning, and
a layer of butter, sugar and flour was caked onto my skin, that I would not
come out alive the other side. I was poofed. Baking almost 1600 cookies is no
joke. Just wish my family were a bit smaller… Anyway, I enjoyed every minute of
it, actually. The list of cookies were Chocolate Gingerbread, Nutella Dream
cookies, Chocolate strawberry Wafers, Chocolate and Strawberry Spiral cookies
and Chocolate shortbread (mmmm my favourite) I baked up a storm, packed and
decorated, drank some wine in between, slept, ate (a few cookies to), but most of
all I felt the Christmas spirit coming alive. The spirit of giving, sharing and
loving. I will post the complete boxes, cookie recipes and pictures later this
month. Keep a look out.
