Some of the best presents at Christmas are edible, and there is nothing better than a giant cookie recipe, served in a box, wrapped with a ribbon as the perfect homemade Christmas gift.

If you want to make more Christmas cookies to give as gifts, these are some of our favourites...

• Christmas spritz cookies - these biscuits are piped into the shape of Christmas trees and decorated with festive sprinkles.

• Red velvet snowflakes - These cookies are like a combination between red velvet cake and bourbon biscuits.

• Santa's washing line biscuits - These spiced cookies also double as decorations.

Ingredients

For the cookie

175 g
unsalted butter, softened
150 g
light brown soft sugar
50 g
granulated sugar
1
medium egg
2 tsp.
vanilla extract
250 g
plain flour
2 tsp.
cornflour
1 tsp.
bicarbonate of soda
150 g
milk or white chocolate chunks or chips (or a mix of both)

To decorate (optional)

Milk chocolate, melted to drizzle
White chocolate, melted, to drizzle

Directions

1. Step 1For the cookie, using a handheld electric whisk, in a large bowl beat butter and sugars until pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift over the flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda and a large pinch of fine salt and mix in with a wooden spoon.
2. Step 2Next stir in the chocolate chunks/chips. Cover and chill for 30min.
3. Step 3Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Press cookie dough into an even 25.5cm disc on the lined sheet (it will spread to about 30.5cm during baking). Bake for 25min, until golden. Allow to cool on tray for 10min, before carefully sliding on to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Step 4Once cool, if you want to decorate the cookie, drizzle with melted chocolate and stick on a border of Maltesers using the melted chocolate. Allow to set before serving.
