Every year for a few year now I have been making my mum a hamper. Mum always tells me not to buy her any presents but she does love a homemade hamper. Each year I have put a variety of gifts into the box I make for her. Most years I have included biscuits or cookies. This year I will be including these delicious biscuits which I’m sure she is going to enjoy as much as we did. Below is a video and recipe for you.
Do you make food gifts for people or buy them? If so what do you make or buy? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.

Orange and Nutmeg Biscuits / Cookies were so tasty. They are easy to prepare and cook and they will last about two weeks if stored in an airtight container. They make a brilliant gift for friends and relatives. As I said I’m sure my mum won’t be turning up her nose at a jar of these cookies. However or whoever you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
