Christmas cookies
Knead the dough ingredients together. Form the dough into 6 equal-sized rolls, long enough to fit across the baking sheet. Place 3 rolls on each baking sheet (lined with baking paper). Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180°C (fan oven). In the meantime, mix the icing ingredients. Immediately after baking, spread a thick layer of icing onto the rolls. While still warm, cut into 2 cm wide strips and allow to cool. You can vary the ingredients: nuts, almonds, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel. I simply used the leftovers I had after baking cookies.
