Holiday rocky road:

This was so easy and very festive but part of the joy definitely is that the gummies you get might not make sense with the rest of the flavours going on here and you've gotta be okay with that. Would be so fun to make with kids.

Ginger cheesecake cookies (not pictured):

The ginger cookie used for the base of these is 🔥but honestly stuffing it with the cheese cake filling dulls the spice a bit too much for me. Also the cheesecake stuffing process was far too much work. I will make this ginger cookie recipe again I will NOT be stuffing it with cheesecake.

Iced peppermint cookies:

I made the icing for these far too thick and they were still delicious, and the red/white pattern is very visually impressive I think. Overall a delicious and fairly easy and fun cookie.

Lemon Turmeric Crinkle:

I am obsessed with lemon desserts, so it's no surprise that I loved these. Also the fact that they were so easy gives them massive points. I ran out of turmeric so they aren't as yellow as they were meant to be, which I think would have given them a more impressive look, but I'm not mad about it.

Matcha Black Sesame Shortbreads:

These were really fun, and the flavours go together so well! I did find the sesame dulls fairly quickly so I would eat them in the first couple days for max enjoyment, but I made these while super busy prepping for a show, they were not a lot of work at all!

Bûche de Noël cookies:

Listen, these were a lot of work. I mean, my food processor is not big enough so I did a lot of the mixing by hand, then the rolling, the filling, the other rolling, the waiting, etc. But I love the outcome here so much I will absolutely do it again. Look at these little logs! they're gorgeous and perfect and have such a good hit of chocolate 🍫 Christmas perfection

Rum Buttered Almond Cookies:

These were sneaky. I used the wrong kind of flour and tbh almond isn't always my favourite flavour but holyyyyyy did these deliver. They are quick and easy and delicate and I will be adding them to my regular cookie rotation.
