Blogmas Day 23 / Christmas Cookies

It's the 23 of December. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve already. I can believe it! Time flows so fast.

This evening I was baking cookies for Christmas and I thought I would share the recipe, because they are delicious. For these cinnamon cookies you will need:

• 120 g of butter
• 4 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
•  1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
• 1-2 cups of flour
• 1 egg

Grate butter, add egg, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla sugar. Mix everything and add the flour. Dough have to be soft and not sticky. Roll up on floured board to about 0,4 cm thickness. Cut out the cookies and bake them at 180°C for 10 minutes.

 

These cookies are easy and fast to make and tastes delicious. 

Tomorrow I will decorate and make them look more Christmasy.

I can't choose only one movie. My favorite ones have to be Elf and Home Alone (absolute legend).

I don't have a favorite Christmas drink to be honest, but during this festive time I like to drink warming tea, hot chocolate and mullet wine.
