Christmas is a day away here in Germany – I can already smell the mulled wine on the stove. Normally I still have some Christmas cookies left at this stage of the Christmas madness, but in case you need something last minute, you could try to deep-fry some Christmas cookies: Deep-Fried Vanilla Stars, for example ;) A sweet small snack you can serve your guests and also work well to decorate a dessert as a highlight for your Christmas dinner.
