Easy Christmas Cookies and Biscuits is a time when children use their artistic talents to decorate food. The biscuits and cookies are perfect for hanging on the Christmas tree (just make sure your pets cant reach!!). Made in advance and enjoyed through out the season. I use pre made icing for the decorations which come in lots of different colours and flavours.
