Have you ever thought of cooking your Christmas presents? For the last three years I’ve been baking my presents and I have to say it’s been a success.

I’ve made Panettone ( a typical italian recipe for Christmas), tangerine syrup, limoncello, special breads, cakes and a wide variety of cookies but, amongst my favorite, there are these rolled barley cookies. After a couple of days they become even more fragrant and crispy. Wrapping cookies is fun, you can use, ceramic jars, tin boxes or parchment paper or little cardboard boxes, and the nicest thing you can do to complete your present is to write on a little card the recipe you’re giving.
