Pink Sweets



White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread from The Black Peppercorn

The holiday season has begun and I am full of love. This is one of my favourite times of the year, truly. I have been very busy working on gifts, trying to maintain handmade Christmas while taking some help from the shops. So far, everything I have made has been successful, and if I don't feel confident in making something, I will buy something. I think it's a fine balance.

I'm hoping to be done gifts and shopping by the end of this week (haha, fingers crossed) so that I can start on some baking projects. I've fallen head over heels with pink cookies. Pink is my favourite colour. I realize it's much-maligned for its associations with a certain doll shaped representation of restrictive femininity. It's just such a cheery colour when done right. These cookies have the perfect hue down pat, rosy and sweet, warm and cheerful. I can't wait to try them out.
