Yes, it's a slippery slope...I only heard of them last year and already have quite a collection (I am not a demonstrator)...  :-[
But yes, super easy and great for gifts.  Must get some cello bags too...last time I gave them in a sistema box and didn't get it back, and would rather not do that too often!

Had more comments about the cookies, so adding a few more batches of sugar to my to-do list...perfect for the few families we do xmas gifts with - I always give cookie cutters or xmas craft things to do.  So a batch of the plus instructions of what to add is great.

I'm sure the catalogue link is fine. After all it is encouraging us to use our thermomix more.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Your cookies look amazing Jo, tho much paler than mine?? Perhaps the darkness of the sugar you used. I love the stamps and thanks thanks thanks for posting the catalogue link…a whole new way to get a tax deduction for me!!

Merry Christmas to me! :D

Hahaha, yes surely a business expense!  I make thank you & xmas cards for our customers, so must be deductible.

I think that's partly my "lovely" camera - they were darker than that pic shows.  But yes, I was a little short of sugar and used partly regular soft brown sugar.  Got some more of the good stuff in this week's shopping, so will make again and see how different they look (any excuse to make more).

I made these for christmas and although I thought they were OK they didn't receive rave reviews compared to the family shortbread recipe.

I made these a couple of weeks ago, and am making them again right now.

My cookies were darker than Jo's too, they looked like gingerbread not shortbread.  At first I was worried if these would be too spicy for the kids, but they are awesome.  Thanks Tenina for another great recipe.
