If you don't like baking or your oven is broken, but you still want to make some sweet treats for Christmas you could make some peppermint creams. Of course you could also make them just because they taste great!
These were made by my friend L for the office and I quickly managed to take a picture and get the recipe of her before they all disappeared.
Thanks L.! x
Peppermint Creams (makes about 3 dozen, depending on size)
1 egg white
340g icing sugar
a few drops peppermint essence, to taste
Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
Whisk the egg white lightly in a bowl until frothy but not stiff.

Sift the icing sugar into the bowl and stir it into the egg white with a wooden spoon until the mixture is stiff.
Knead in the peppermint essence.
Roll the mixture out thin, about 5mm and use a small cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
Refrigerate for 24 hour.
Drizzle with some dark melted chocolate if you like and allow to set.
Enjoy!
