To ask what your favourite Christmas cookies and sweet treats are?

[WeCouldBeNiceToEachOther]

I adore baking and want to do some Christmas cookie boxes for friends and family this year as part of their gifts. I stopped a couple of years ago because of some mental health stuff going on, but I want to start again.

what are your favourite treats? Ideally looking for things I can bag up and post as I’ll be sending some to friends across the country as well.

any ideas welcome!

Florentines.

fudge or truffles

Yabu.

I make a really good pan forte. I use Darina Allan’s recipe.

I like a yule log. I'm not a big fan of mince pies, Christmas pudding, fruit cakes, and similar. Or anything with marzipan. So I'd be really awkward in that sense! But I'd love a yule log, decorated with a bit of edible glitter (snow), some holly, and a little Robin.

Snickerdoodles.

I really like stilton biscuits and parmesan shortbread.

Chocolate caramel squares
Dundee cake
Pecan slice

The turron you get from Spain.
And marzipan fruit. I made some last year it was quite fun and easy. I bought the marzipan in a block but you could easily make it.
Anything to do with sugar and nuts basically!

I really dislike Xmas pudding, Xmas cake (except the marzipan) and mince pies though.

You’re going to have to explain 😋

Oh wow, my link to a blog with Rachel Allen's snickerdoodles recipe has been hidden. Sorry, @HansHolbein

Ah, that’s annoying! I’ll try and find it. Thank you x
