Notes
- If you want to add something a little special to these cookies, add a tiny splash or rum or brandy. It adds a real depth of flavour and adds to the Christmas vibes too.
- Make sure you don't over mix the dough when you are stirring all the ingredients in. You want to make sure that everything has just come together. This is so the cookies don't become tough when cooked.
- If you want to avoid the cookies spreading too much, then put the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before rolling in to balls.
- Make sure to leave enough space between the cookies to allow for spreading during baking - about 5cm/2in is enough.
- Dust the cookies with some icing sugar before serving to give them more of a Christmas look.
- Make sure to cool them completely before serving. You need to cool them for 5 minutes on the baking tray and then cool them completely on a wire rack.
- Add a little something extra to these cookies by drizzling them with melted chocolate.
