Delicious Cookie Box for the Holidays

Start by mixing all the ingredients needed for the *lemon cookies*. You will need fresh *lemon zest* and juice to give it that fresh flavor. Once the dough is prepared, shape them into round balls and place them on a baking tray.

Bake the cookies at *180°C (350°F)* for about *12-15 minutes* or until they are slightly golden on the edges. Let them cool before adding a *light creamy glaze* on top.

For the *chocolate shortbread cookies*, combine unsweetened cocoa powder with butter and sugar to create a rich dough. Press the dough into a baking dish and score it into squares before baking.

Bake at *160°C (325°F)* for about *18-20 minutes*. Once cooled, break them along the scored lines to serve as delightful melt-in-your-mouth treats.

To make *biscotti*, mix flour, sugar, and your choice of dried fruits like *cranberries and apricots*. Shape the dough into logs on a baking sheet

Then, bake at *180°C (350°F)* for *30 minutes*. After cooling slightly, slice into pieces and put them back in the oven until crisp and golden. This double-baking is what makes biscotti special!

For the *oatmeal cookies*, mix oats with flour, coconut, and dried cranberries. Ensure the mixture is well combined before shaping them into cookies.

Bake them in a preheated oven at *180°C (350°F)* for about *10-12 minutes* until lightly browned. They'll have a wonderful chewy texture with a hint of sweetness from the cranberries.

Lastly, prepare the *gingerbread cookies* by mixing ginger, cinnamon, and molasses into your cookie batter. Roll out the dough and cut out snowflake shapes.

Bake at *180°C (350°F)* for *8-10 minutes*. Once cooled, decorate them with a *sugar glaze* to give them a festive finish.

Once all the cookies are baked and cooled, arrange them beautifully in a box. Don’t forget to add the *jar of caramel* for dipping! Ensure everything is packaged with love and care.

This lovely cookie box makes the perfect *holiday gift* that will surely delight friends and family!
