Chocolate horseshoe biscuits (Christmas cookies)
Third and last idea for handmade, homemade Christmas presents: chocolate horseshoe biscuits.
After the hot chocolate mix and the salted caramel sauce, it’s time for some cookies.
Why we offer this kind of biscuits for Christmas?
Because the horseshoe brings good luck, so it is perfect to wish someone all of our best, also because we are almost at the end of the year.
And when you gives this kind of presents, which is even delicious… what more could you ask for? 😛
