a parcel full of Christmas cookies!
For my own and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mistraltoes' records, here are the contents:
- lots and lots of popcorn (which I am not going to eat, sorry)
- aluminium foil
- waxed paper
In the top layer of cookies:
- 3 gingerbread stars
- 4 yellow stars with poppy-seed sprinkled on the icing
- 3 "classic" Christmas cookies, in the shapes of a star and two bells, with decorative coloured piped icing
- 3 coconut-y cookies
- 3 round pale-coloured with pointy cones of white icing
- 3 round dark brown with green icing
In the bottom layer of cookies:
- 4 rectangular with wavy edges, each consisting of two cookies sandwiched together with something brown and sticky
- 4 camel-shaped cookies (one of whose head had broken off, but I think that was the only casualty)
- 3 cinnamon-and-sugar-dusted cookies which had started their life off as rectangular, but had been sliced and curved, so that there were four sections, revealing a dark filling inside
- 3 round pale with zig-zag stripes of light brown icing
- 2 square shortbread with yellow sugar dusting
- 2 square shortbread with pink sugar dusting
- 2 round with jam tops
- 2 square with pink icing
As of this moment, I have eaten the broken camel, one of the rectangular sticky ones, and one of the shortbreads. No, make that two of the shortbreads -- that is melt-in-the-mouth stuff! Normally I don't go for shortbread, but this is lovely. Yum.
