Christmas Present Cookies
I made these Christmas present cookies for the kids school teachers and put them into a pretty box with a ribbon. They are organic spelt ginger snaps and golden syrup ginger snaps (lighter cookie). Decorated with royal icing. I really like these cookies as they are so crunchy and delicious. I do double the quantity of the spices as I think it was too subtle. Here is the recipe http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/recipes/11366/pepparkakorginger-snaps

High Heel Shoe Cookies
I had an order for 36 pairs of high heel cookies from my mother. She has a sewing retreat she runs every year and this year's theme is shoes. Hence the high heel cookies. So after two late nights, here are the finished cookies.

Lebkuchen
I made these with my 3 youngest children today. The two eldest children went on a fishing excursion with my husband. Thought this would be a nice and easy activity to do with them. This was a new recipe and it is a keeper. The dough is really easy to handle and cut out. The biscuits were a little too crisp for the kids but I really enjoyed them. I think this dough would be great for Christmas cookies, decorations or even a gingerbread house.
I made some men and hearts. The gingerbread men shapes are free hand cut as I could not find my gingerbread man cutter.
I modified a recipe I found in one of my cookbooks and this is what I came up with.
Lebkuchen
2 1/3 cups plain flour
1/2 cup cornflour
2 teaspooons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
100g butter
3/4 cup golden syrup
2 tablespoons milk
royal icing for decoration
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together. Place butter, golden syrup and milk together in the microwave until butter has melted. Add into the dry ingredients. Stir together to form a soft dough. Knead gently for 1 minute on a flour board until dough is smooth. Roll out until 7mm thick and cut into shapes. Bake for 15 mins or until lightly golden. Let them cool completely before decorating.

Yummy Doggies
I saw these cute little doggies on this blog http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2007/01/horlicks-doggie-cookies.html and just had to make them for the kids. I modified the recipe a bit. The kids loved them and thought they were cute. They are not very sweet but that is a good thing. The sweetness only comes from the chocolate chips and the Milo cereal.
Here is my version
Malt Doggies Biscuits (makes 45 biscuits)
180g soft butter
80g malt powder
200g plain flour
25g corn flour
25g milk powder
100g chocolate chips
some chocolate hail
some Milo cereal
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 140deg C. Line baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Pre-heat oven to 140deg C. Line baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Sieve plain flour, corn flour and milk powder.
Cream butter and malt powder.
Put in plain flour, cornflour and milk powder and beat for about one minute to form dough.
Divide dough into 10g each. Put three chocolate chips into each piece of dough and roll into balls.
Insert two pieces of Milo cereal to form the 'ears', chocolate hail for the "eyes", and a chocolate chip in the centre for the 'nose'.
Bake at 140 deg C for about 25 minutes. Depending on your oven, it may take another 5 to 10 minutes more for the cookies to be ready.
Leave to cool on wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
