Christmas Cutout Cookies

That card got me very inspired to make my own Christmas Cutout Cookies.

Generally, I am very lazy, but when it comes to food I am willing to do the most unbelievable stunts in order to get what I want. That is how I decided to give it a try. The tools I needed were right there: my great-great-grandmother's recipe along with her cookie cutter:


I searched around and found most of the ingredients...

Then I mixed, stirred, rolled, cut with milimetric precision...

and baked in the oven in order to create...

multiple copies of an edible version of me.

(A very important tip: the secret is in the lemon zest).

I know that if my great-great grandmother Simone knew I am revealing her recipe to the world she would wake up from the grave and kill me. But I am different because I was taught since I was a little puppy to share so here and for the first time you can find the rest of the recipes she collected throughout the years. All the cutout cookies from her repertoire and how to make them if you dare...
