Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of today's Christmas baking began in the medieval monasteries and nunneries of Europe. Although today all kinds of traditional Christmas cookies are readily available industrially produced, it is still tradition and highly valued to have homemade Christmas cookies with natural ingredients rather than artificially added flavors and chemicals to extend shelve life. This book's principle follows only the most original and natural ingredients as found in the traditional recipes, often hundreds of years old. The book's principle is also to present simple forms of classic biscuits rather than the many variations. In this book, Christmas Cookies are categorized into one of the five categories, egg white cookies, spice cookies, shortcrust cookies, nut roast cookies, and confection. This will provide you, the reader, with a classic canon to experience original baking from which you can develop your own style and create your very own variations of these classic cookies that you and your family and friends will like best.
