Christmas is fast approaching. Due to the pandemic that is affecting everyone globally, some of us would not be able to get a white Christmas where we are at. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If we can’t go to a white Christmas, let’s MAKE a white Christmas!
Here’s an easy recipe to get our kids in the mood. Let them build a snowman with some snowballs and eat it too.
This is one of the simplest and delicious cookies to make for Christmas. No mixer required.
Ingredients: 1 cup plain flour 1 cup assorted nuts (Pecan, Walnut, Almond) 1/2 cup salted butter 3 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Powdered sugar
Method:
Combine flour, nuts, butter, sugar and vanilla extract Press them together and knead until it they form a soft dough Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes Shape into balls and bake at 170C for 20 minutes Roll the balls in powdered sugar while they are still warm Let them cool for 15 minutes and roll in sugar again To make a snowman, use condensed milk to stick chocolate chips as the eyes, carrot as the nose and chocolate rice as the mouth

Come Christmas, all I can think of is a wonderful winter wonderland. Let’s get some paper plate and ‘build’ a cute snowman 🙂
Paper Plate Snowman
Glue two paper plates together. Put cloth pegs to secure it until the glue dries up.
I cut a carrot out of an orange foam for the nose. Glue it onto the snowman.
I cut circles out of green foam for the buttons. See my boy trying to photograph himself pasting the buttons here. He's learning to take over my job! 😀
Use a hole punch to punch out tiny dots for the mouth.
I use felt for the scarf, pipe cleaner for the hands and foam and ribbon for the ear muffs. The snowman is ready to cheer up your wall. If you wish to convert it into a mobile, just do two of it and paste it back to back. Tie a string over it and hang. Nice 😀
