Christmas Cookies Christmas went by pretty well. We had loads of fun with friends, went to a movie, not to forgot a bunch of cookies I baked along with the Christmas Rum Cake. I also tried something new with the condensed milk I had in my fridge leftover from making this Doodh Peda. Add spoons of the concoction into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Once the dough is chilled, cut it into pieces and bake till crisp!
