My favourite Christmas movie is “ The Grinch that stole Christmas “
It is not only funny and hilarious, but it also has a meaning and purpose that is good for little kids who watch it to understand. The movie has themes related to Christmas spirit, of course, such as bullying, kindness, family, kids and the importance of a kind heart.

Christmas is a time for being with your family. A time for gathering with family and friends and celebrating the holidays together. It's the best time of the year to visit your relatives and have dinner together. Christmas is important for many people around the world, because it's the only time of the year they can travel and see their families.

Christmas is a time when the whole family gathers around the same table. It unites the family and makes everybody feel like they are in their "real home."

I had a really nice Christmas this year! I went to my grandparents' house in Elholo with my family and my uncle and cousin, as I do every year. My grandparents had prepared LOTS of food - there were typical Bulgarian Christmas dishes, but there was also homemade pizza and four desserts! We opened the presents at midnight. I recieved earphones, a board game, face masks, shoes and money. The shoes suprised me most, because I wanted them for a long time but I wasn't expecting to get them on Christmas.

1 cup almonds

3 cups dried fruits

1/4 cup orange juice

5 cups (600g) all-purpose flour

1 packet instant dry yeast

1 1/4 cups warm milk

1 teaspoon salt

cardamom

ground cloves

Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

2 large eggs , at room temperature

1/3 cup sugar

Topping

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ginger

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

About 1 cup powdered sugar (for serving)

In a medium bowl, combine the dried fruit and orange juice together. Let soak overnight.

Add 2 cups of flour and the yeast to the bowl of the stand mixer. Set the mixer to stir or low just until the yeast and flour are combined.

Add the warm milk and increase the speed to medium-high. Beat the mixture for one minute. Detach the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise for one hour.

In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 cups flour, salt, cardamom, cloves.
Once the sponge has risen, return the bowl with the sponge to the mixer. Set the mixer to medium speed, add the lemon zest to the sponge and mix to combine. Add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until the dough looks like thick batter. Add the eggs and beat until incorporated. Beat in the sugar.
Switch the mixer to low speed and add 2 1/2 cups of the flour and spice mixture to the bowl (reserve the remaining 1/2 cup).

Knead the dough on low speed, then add the remaining flour and spice mixture 2 tablespoons at a time. When it's ready, the dough should be soft and pull away from the sides of the bowl.

let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.

Drain the fruit. Use one hand to steady the bowl and knead in the fruit and almonds with the other.

Divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape them into loaves.

Cover the loaves with plastic wrap and let them rise for about 1 hour.

Heat the oven to 350°F.
Place the loaves in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, then swap the top and bottom sheets and rotate each pan 180° and bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until the loaves are nicely browned. (Total baking time is 40 to 45 minutes).

To make the topping stir together the sugar, ginger

While still warm, brush the tops and sides of the loaves with the melted butter until all of the butter is used.

Sprinkle with the sugar. When thoroughly cool, wrap the loaves in plastic wrap and then in foil.

Store in a cool, dry place. 🥰🥰

Crisp melt in the mouth cinnamon cookies with a delicious crunchy meringue icing. These cinnamon star cookies are perfect for Christmas.

I often make a batch of these delicious cinnamon cookies at Christmas time. They are quick and easy to make but always prove really popular with friends and family.

Traditional Christmas biscuits

Cinnamon biscuits in various forms are traditional at Christmas times in many parts of Europe. These biscuits are lifted above ordinary with the addition of a thin layer of sweet crunchy icing.

The icing is made from a mixture of icing sugar and beaten egg white which is brushed onto the part baked cookies before they are returned to the oven to finish baking.

The cookies need no other decoration so are really quick and easy to make. In past years I have made these with holes in one of the points of the stars and hung them with ribbon on the Christmas tree where they looked rather fabulous.

Perfect foodie gift

The cookies keep well so can be made ahead of time. I like to make lots of small stars that are just one or two bites big. Perfect to serve with after dinner coffee, party nibbles or packed into boxes and given as gifts.

Pile into a box with some tissue to help prevent them from breaking and tie the box with a pretty ribbon.

But the cookies work just as well as a more substantial biscuit to serve with a cuppa. You could also serve them as a biscuit to accompany a creamy dessert.

And of course you can make them any shape you want but somehow I think the shimmery finish of the icing is perfect for stars.

Step by Step Cinnamon Star Cookies

Sift flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl and rub in the butter.

Stir in the Sugar. Add a beaten egg.

Mix to a dough. Roll out.

Cut out stars and part bake.

Brush with the icing.

Bake until crisp and pale golden.

No time to make it now - Pin for later
