Easter cookies

Today I made some white chocolate and pecan cookies (from the Hummingbird cookbook), as it's Easter and all. I really like the recipe. You have to roll the dough out into a sausage shape and then leave it to firm up in the freezer. After an hour or so, you chop it up into discs which means your cookies end up relatively uniform in size and shape.


I had this really sweet striped tissue paper which came as packaging from Selfridges, so I sewed it up into a little bag and punched a hole for a bow. I also printed out a little sticker. I'm going to give it to Theo when he gets back from work - hope he enjoys it! White chocolate and pecans are two of his favourite things, so I'm thinking that it will be a winning recipe...

 

In other news, I've been doing tons of sewing recently. I need to take some photos so I can write about them on here, it's taking me ages to get round to it!
