One of Oli’s Christmas presents this year was a jar of ingredients for making cookies. I also made up a jar each for the Baxter’s because they both seem to enjoy cooking too and I figured that during the Christmas holidays an afternoon of easy baking might be just the thing to keep small children occupied and their mothers from going insane. The recipe came from Marmalade and Me and according to Oli were very nice (although quite a lot of the cookies were eaten by Daddy!)

They were a really good idea and I’m on the lookout for recipes that work like this for next year!
