Christmas biscuit practice

So all the talk about Christmas and homemade Christmas snacks made me hungry for my Christmas biscuits so I just HAD to whip up a test batch. I found a family of gingerbread people biscuit cutters in Sainsburys for the bargain price of £1.75 and although the mixture comes out quite wet the shapes turned out better than I expected. I then dipped them in some

Mmm biscuits...

This week I have been thinking about homemade Christmas presents and what I have made in the past. My most favourite thing to make was some Christmas chocolate truffles and some Christmas Spice Biscuits. They went down a storm. It took a little trial and error to find the perfect biscuits but the best recipe I found was from the So Feminine website. They are nice and chewy and just the right combination of Christmassy spices. I topped mine with melted dark chocolate (the perfect partner to gingery spices) and sprinkles.

Why not whip up a few batches? They could make the perfect gift for older relatives, especially when presented in a nice glass jar with a big red gingham bow on top.
