Gingerbread Cookies and Tea Livestream Tomorrow (Sunday) at 6:00 PM EST (Patreon)

Hello!!

I hope you are all holding up and staying warm! I'm nearly done with this month's all new episode and it will be coming mid next week!

In the meantime, let's gather in the dinning room for a chat over tea and some of the best Gingerbread cookies I've ever made! My cookies will already be baked and ready for this livestream, but I'm leaving my top secret recipe below... This is a new type of cookie I've just recently come up with and it's VERY hard until dipped in tea or milk, so It is an ideal cookie for my next gingerbread house; as well as an amazing snack with your tea!

There is SO MUCH to catch you up on and I'm so excited to share what I've been up to, as well as reveal a sneak peek at this month's episode!

I can't wait to talk to you!

Roll dough out on a surface dusted with powdered sugar to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out with desired cutter and bake for 14 minutes.

All ovens are a bit different so keep an eye on them for your first batch. When the edges are just beginning to gently brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
