If you want to put a little more effort into your gourmet Christmas gift, you can bake the cookies yourself and give them away. The time you spend making them will show the other person that you love them deeply and it will make the gift even more personal. You will need the same ingredients as for the preparation of the cookie mix jar. You just need to follow the instructions and put them in a nice box.

  • First, preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Beat 250g butter, 1 large egg and 3/4 tsp vanilla extract in a large bowl until well blended.
  • Then add the cookie mix and 100g chopped walnuts (optional). Be careful to mix well, breaking up any lumps.
  • Next, drop rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
  • Finally, let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes and move to wire racks to cool completely. This makes about 24 cookies.
