I’ve been doing a lot of Christmas baking the last few weeks, trying out different recipes and decorating biscuits with Oscar. I have recently discovered Martha Stewart’s Basic Sugar Cookie recipe which is perfect for using biscuit cutters, and it is now my go-to recipe when I want to use cutters. These biscuits last extremely well – we still have some left over from Halloween and they are as crisp and fresh as when they were made. Perfect for Christmas, as you can make the biscuits weeks in advance and then decorate on the day, or the day before. I also found a recipe last year for Christmas Cookies which used custard powder. I modified it a little for taste (the ingredients were otherwise fine) and called them Custard Biscuits. Miss Jayne’s Coffee House recently posted a recipe to make Stained Glass Christmas Cookies, whcih turned out to be super easy so I had to give them a try! I also made jam centred biscuits and some delicious honeycomb stars – which were a big hit all round. I tried decorating with Royal Icing for Halloween, which was simple but very effective.
I’m all baked out now (with biscuits that is), so luckily I have a big tin full of them to last a couple more weeks!
