Description
Last weekend there was an epic baking session of over 40 sugar cookies being made as Christmas gifts for my kids school and playschool. By the end of the day my kitchen was in complete chaos. It was all worth it though I still have another 30 in the freezer yet to be baked!I decided to make four different kinds of sugar cookies, all with very Christmas flavours for my country.
Half dipped 1/4 of the cookies in melted Terry's chocolate orange and added some Holly sprinkles. Half dipped 1/4 of the cookies in white chocolate and sprinkled with crushed candy canes, running a little low on white chocolate I also made some with the white chocolate just drizzled on top with the candy canes. I knew I would have a lot of work to do so I decided to make half the cookies have the flavours inside so I wouldn't have to decorate all of them else I would have gone mad.
1/4 Dried cranberry with white chocolate chips 1/4 Dark chocolate chips with a sprinkle of cinnamon. My basic sugar cookie recipe claremanson.deviantart.com/art…

It really looks like a lot of work but they're so beautiful.

It wasn't so bad, if I had to make, bake and decorate all of them in one day then yes it would have been but I like to do things in stages so didn't really feel like too much in the end

Can you just melt chocolate bars like nice dark chocolate to dip goodies into?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok!! Cool! And you do it in a pot that is in a pan of water over flame correct?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I find it much easier to control, just make sure the water is not boiling too hot and does not touch the bowl you are melting the chocolate in.
