Guardian Angel cookies.
On Christmas Eve, I'm always in a special mood - I want to believe in miracles and magic. And to give that magic to others. And when I came across a cookie mold in the shape of an angel, I immediately came up with the idea of making such edible gifts. After all, it is so nice to give your loved ones a little attention and goodies. And how pleasant it is to receive such gifts! These are based on ordinary shortbread cookies, but in an unusual shape.
