Maybe I will add another post with some photo I took these days in Milan, but I'm not sure about it because I don't have a good quality camera.
I can say I've just finished with gifts, it was hard but I'm really proud of myself when I think it's Christmas in 4 days and I don't have any other gift to wrap.
If you're super late and you don't know what to do, well, this is another recipe I wanted to share becuase I bake cookies every year for some friends or parents, and every year it's a success.
Shortcrust pastry can be a little bit hard, but if you know how to do it, I can guarantee that you'll get delicious cookies.
Baking cookies can also take a lot, because after preparing shortcrust pastry you need to leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours, so be sure you have enough time.
Ingredients (for about 50+ cookies)
200g sugar
400g flour
250g butter cut into cubes (room temperature)
2 eggs
A pinch of salt
Mix sugar, flour and salt in a large bowl. Then add butter and mix everything with your hands until completely combined. Now add eggs to blend your dough.
Put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
When your pastry is ready, roll your dough on a floured surface until is 0.5/1 cm tall: using a Christmas-biscuiti shape, make you biscuits and put them on a baking tray.
Enjoy your Christmas cookies and Christmas Eve ♥
I can't bake or cook to save my life but these look so yummy!
