There was a nice sounding tree cookie recipe with the Create 10 Dec. class so I thought I'd give it a go. Nice chance to try out my only 2 cutters - star & flamingo. Festive, no?
I had to do them in batches as I didn't have much space, thankfully they didn't spread when they cooked so I could smoosh them up nice and close on the tray.I had one more batch to go when I decided to try and mix in some lemon curd to see if that worked too (the others are just plain vanilla).
Thing is I figured I'd better cut them out by hand so they look different in case you didn't want a lemon biscuit. Can you tell at which point I decided my desire to sit down out weighed my desire to make pretty looking biscuits?!...
Decorating was a bit hit and miss too. I tried some stars with peppermint icing, and all the rest had plain white icing. They came out alright. Some were a bit toothbreaking but that was only because I rolled them too thin in places! I think I'll try them again with a bit more lemon, and add it before the flour. Yum yum.
In other news - after all that snow yesterday I thought we'd be wading through the stuff for at least a few days. The rain seemed to take care of some of it though. Ah well, hopefully this means we'll be able to see the family come Christmas day!
