Having been 'commissioned' by my sixth form headteacher to make something for the annual elderly friends Christmas party held at my school, it seemed only appropriate to bake something not too big which 'elders' would appreciate as a present. (Sorry if I've offended anyone who doesn't class them-self as an 'elderly person' because in fact I like fruit cake too! I suppose it's just a stereotype.)
I seem to be on a bit of a biscuit roll here, first the chocolate orange, malteser cookies and now this. I'm certainly getting into the Christmas spirit by making these wonderful Scandi cookies, otherwise known as Swedish 'pepparkakor'- pepper biscuits and I know what your thinking...no they don't have pepper in them.
