its xmas time!!!!! well, its boxing day today. and i had an extremely busy time before xmas, trying to slot in little bits of festive preparations whenever i can. and xmas flew by in a blink of the eye!!! all fun times tho~~

have neglected this blog for a short while, but definitely not cooking!!!

so, here begins some festive baking - xmas wreath cookies.


-Almond shortbread wreaths with rum + orange glaze-

hubby's boss invited us to his home for a xmas party, so i thought it would be nice to bring some homemade cookies along. this recipe's from australian gourmet traveller! caught my attention right away because they are soooo cute and chritmasy, despite the fact that i dont like baking cookies (and never have....)!





i changed the recipe a little bit - based on what i have in the pantry. hehe. changed a brandy glaze to a rum glaze, and used dried cranberries and currants and crushed pistachio. just thought the red and green and black would look so pretty!! :) also reduced the amount of sugar in the cookies, after knowing how much sugar is used for the icing glaze!!!!



as far as i dont really like eating cookies, these are actually quite nice and v crumbly!!
