The Christmas season brings joy and warmth to our hearts. One of the best ways to celebrate this festive time of the year is by baking or creating delicious Christmas cookies.
Christmas cookies are a delicious tradition usually homebaked. But these simple Christmas pudding cookies are created using store-bought chocolate-coated round biscuits.
The fun part is in the dipping of white chocolate and decorating them using sweets in green and red colours so they resemble a Christmas pudding.
Gathering family and friends together to make Christmas cookies is a fun and creative way to celebrate the holiday with loved ones.
It is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. The tradition of baking cookies during Christmas dates back to medieval times, when people used to bake cookies and exchange them as gifts.
Today, people still bake or create cookies and gift them to their friends, family, and neighbours. It is a way of spreading joy and warmth to those around them.
You will need:
One packet of chocolate-coated round biscuits (I used Digestives).
1 and 1/4 cups of melted white chocolate.
Soft green sweets for the leaves.
Red M&M's for the berries.
Cut your green lollies into leaf shapes.
And put aside the red M&M's in a dish.
Melt the chocolate over hot water in a pot.
Or you can do this step in a microwave if you wish.
Make sure the melted chocolate is smooth and runny.
Dip half of each biscuit into the melted chocolate.
Decorate with the sweets to create a topping of berries and leaves.
Set aside on a parchment paper-covered tray to set.
Once the chocolate is set, plate and serve.
Or store in an airtight container in the pantry until needed.
