Make ahead cookies

It doesn’t feel very autumnal, does it? Yet the schools are back and the seasons move on. I am wary of mentioning that large celebration in December but when you are living on a budget planning ahead is always at the back of your mind.

With food prices climbing I’m mindful of my household's favourite food items that I try to have to hand in December; traditional foods that everyone in the house expects to enjoy during the season. They don’t need to be ‘special edition’ boxes or trays marked with printed red ribbons either. Foods like cereals, crisps, and biscuits have long shelf lives and therefore there’s no need to wait to pick up the treats. Why not buy them now in increments and keep them in the press for the big day?
