Candy Cane Cookies

Our winter bakery for biscuit baking fun!

Baking biscuits together is a lovely ritual for winter. If they aren’t all polished off right away, homemade biscuits make a wonderful gift or item to bring. Our winter bakery brings a touch of variety to your biscuit selection – and our baking mixes offer a quick and easy all-inclusive concept for whipping up sweet treats. It’s winter baking fun guaranteed.

Candy Cane Cookies

… Truth be told: the nicer it is to bake cookies, the harder it is to clean up afterwards. Chocolate chips and glaze everywhere, flour on the floor and in your hair, colourful sugar sprinkles all over the kitchen. Our Candy Cane Cookies, by contrast, don’t call for any chocolate chips or colourful decorations – and still look fantastic. Our Candy Cane Cookies feature a fruity raspberry flavour and the shape of a candy cane.
