Xmas cooking – what else can I make/bake with the kids this weekend?
I’m doing sausage rolls, mince pies and shortbread biscuits with the kids this weekend as they all love baking. What else could they make connected with Xmas? They’re 5, 8 and 9 years old. Thanks
Wow! I’m impressed with all the ideas and have given the choice to the kids on what they’d like to make – hoping each of them don’t choose different ones lol. Merry Xmas 
Choccie yule log, Xmas pudding, ginger bread men with icing scarves, Xmas tree Shrewsbury biscuits, snowball cake (aka rounded chocolate cake decorated in dessicated coconut) and party favours wrapped in coloured paper to look like presents. You can look all of these recipes up online.
Hope some of that helps and good luck

well using a gingerbread mixture you could make gingerbread cookies and ice them
or shape them into christmas trees
how about a chocolate roll which you ice with chocolate butter cream to make a yule log

I am 20 but very childlike
I LOVE to make sugar cookies! You can buy the pre mixed and measured balls to just place in the oven. The fun part if the frosting. Use 5,6,7 or as many bowls as you want and divide the frosting into the bowls. Then add food coloring to make the frosting into any colors you want. The kids can use the frosting like paint and have fun on the cookies! For Christmas themed cookies use, white, green, red. A cool effect is dabbing a bit of each color on one cookie and using a toothpick to swirl the colors together for a marble look. I hope this helps you and your children find it fun!
