I love a good cookie tin. I haven't made them since my parents moved to Thailand a few years ago (I did make some macarons and lemon curd sandwich cookies etc. one year in Bangkok, but they were sweaty little things because of the humidity).

I've been testing the Milk Bar crew's family recipes for a cookie week on Taste. The recipes are wonderful and working with Christina inspired me to take up holiday baking again, despite the fact that I'm not going home. I'm keeping a variety of raw doughs in the fridge/freezer and taking freshly baked cookies to everyone I visit!
