All of the holiday baking so far has been an explosion of wonderful and intense flavours; I felt like toning it down a bit today with some good old fashioned Vanilla Biscuits. If you feel like jazzing these lovely biscuits up for the festive season, sprinkle them with hundreds and thousands,chocolate vermicelli or even a piece of cherry before baking.

I love the homemade look of cookies when they’ve been pressed with a fork. It always reminds me of my mom. 🙂
I grew up with cookies that all had the fork impression 😉
