    Happy Saturday Friends!

    Christmas baking has commenced in my house, as we are preparing for my youngest's birthday, yep, he's a Christmas baby 😊 He has born on Christmas eve, so we always super festive in celebrating him 😍😍😍😍

    This year though, I don't plan to make and/or prepare crazy things as I am only 6 weeks post-op, still cannot bend myself, lift anything above 5 kg, make sudden movement without hurting myself. However, he is hoping (and secretly praying 😁) that it's me who will bake him birthday cake and whatnot.

    Today I baked 3 cookies which I will be sharing the recipes today, tomorrow and the day after, should I have the time. Tomorrow I will bake blueberry cheesecake for the whole fam dinner, and on the 23rd, I will try to make him a birthday cake with his favorite chocolate 😍 Let's see, here is crossing fingers my body will be okay and that I don't forget to be kinder to my body 😊

    Anyhoo! These cookies are delicious, I kid you not. My go to recipe when I want something buttery, easy, and yummy 😍

    Take out cookies from oven and immediately press kisses on each, then chill the whole tray either in the fridge or outside in -23 C 😁 So your kisses won't lose its shape, if you like to! If not, just cool on cooking rack 😊

    Enjoy!
