What is everyone’s’ favourite cookie? Or more to the point Christmas Cookie. I know there are so many to choose from. I am a huge fan of bar cookies any kind. And I mean any kind will do. The thing with bar cookies, they are work. You know layer after layer. But they are worth it. And if you love bar cookies as well, why not check out a few on the blog.
And those are just a few to get you started. If you look around the blog in the Sweets section, you’ll find a whole lot more.
A little bit about these cookies
- When you look at the recipe card below you will see the overall time is quite long. This is simply because this dough needs to chill. Preferably, you could do this the night before. But three hours would be okay.
- The dough is much like a thick batter before you chill it and this is what it’s suppose to be like. It firms up as they bake.
- Once the dough has chilled and firmed up, you will be able to spoon it out and then roll it into little balls.
- All explained in the recipe card, but the balls will look small and this is okay. They will spread out during baking like you see here.
