Gingerbread Shortbread Cookies - Merry Christmix ebook
« on: November 29, 2012, 03:47:24 am »
Well, this is my first review, but since no-one else seems to have done it yet, here goes...

Made the Sugar and Spice mix, and WOW it smells delicious!!  The orange peel particularly appeals to me :)
The recipe was nice and easy - once you've made the sugar mix, there's not a lot else to it.  ;D  It was very crumbly, as warned in the recipe, so took a bit of kneading to come together. 

I refrigerated it as per instructions, but it came out rock hard!  I just left it on the bench until it was manageable.

Cooked 10 mins and looks fab - often my oven seems to cook a little hot/fast with some older recipes, so it was great to see that I should be able to follow these recipes without worrying about burning! 

And the result - delicious!!

I have little cookie stamps, which are little silicon circles, so I just roll a ball and press down.  :D From Stampin Up, who I buy my card-making supplies from.

These were a HUGE hit!!!
I think I will have to make the sugar mix as a gift for a couple of the guests, it was so popular.

From Stampin Up,

HOw easy was this!  Found a demonstrator just a short distance from me who sent me the online catalog . . OMG - this will be disastrous ;D ;D ;D  Have ordered the cookie stamps and also some cellophane bags that I've been looking for for ages - and will pick them up around mid week.  Thanks jo-nz!
