Festive Cookies - pistachio, cranberry and white chocolate
I was going to wait until mid-December to start sharing my Christmas excitement, but I just can't hold it back. Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I'm always amazed by the effort everyone goes to. Christmas in Australia is hot, though I can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside when I see the decorations everywhere. Christmas in Europe is amazing in that typical that's-what-we-see-in-movies way. Spending Christmas in snowy Switzerland had me pinching myself because I kept thinking I'd actually see Santa Claus trudging through the snow up my street. (The pretend Santa's at shopping centres freak me out.) The climates are so different, but they both embrace the spirit so whole-heartedly and everyone has their own special traditions. Cherry pavlovas are a key dessert at Mum and Dad's place for Christmas, and I think that these cute cookies will also be making an appearance at the Christmas table.
