Cookies!!! Well baking in general, but I always end up experimenting with cookies...
My Mum passed down a recipe for shortbread to me quite a long time ago....spent my teens looking up the recipe card and following it to the letter - now I know the basic recipe by heart and am doing a lot of modifications and additions to it to see what happens...
I have tried sugar substitutions - success....
I have tried flavours - some better than others - candy cane was a good one; cocoa, not so much, a little ambiguous about chocolate chip, but my kids seemed to like it....
I am about to spread my wings and try a couple of recipes for a friend of mine to see if I can make a little mini-business out of it!! It's something I like to do, so why not, right?
So, on the roster are some shortbread cookies integrating Bailey's (nectar of the gods - tied with coffee, of course), and I'm going to see what I can do with lace cookies....
I think I would buy my cookies; we'll see if others feel the same way...
Here are some of the creations that me (and my partner in crime, Rif) made this year for Christmas:
