I have a tiny kitchen - far too small to manage all of the cooking we do and storage space is at a premium. Though I am not a minimalist by nature, I am forced to be just because there is no where to put everything. Pots and pans and utensils are kept to a minimum (within the confines of still having to cater for large events), I can’t stand extra appliances on the counters and no one is allowed in when I am cooking.

Even within this though, I still have one whole drawer dedicated to my collection of cookie cutters. I buy a few every year and they only come out for this one recipe we make around Christmas As a kid, making cut-out cookies was always my favourite. I loved going through the box of cutters and choosing which ones to use and it is my kids’ favourite as well.

This year we have barely done anything Christmassy. I am feeling it even less so than a normal year. But tradition calls and a batch of these is on the cards for today.
