Christmas Cookies
Delicate and light, these puffs of delight can be made with almonds or cocoanut flakes, or just about anything you fancy.
TIPS:
-
Oblaten are a thin white edible wafers used to make a base for cookies that are too delicate or sticky to put on a baking sheet themselves.
-
Substitute cocoanut flakes for ground almonds for a variation.
-
Let cookies cool before placing in cookie tin.
Separate cookie layers with wax paper in cookie tin.
