French Christmas Biscuits
You will need a pizzelle iron to make these traditional French Christmas biscuits. The dough needs to chill overnight but after that they are a snap to make.

- In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar and butter until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Gradually stir in flour. Set bowl over a hot water bath and stir to blend ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the pizzelle iron.
- Shape dough into 3cm balls and place in the pizzelle iron. Close the iron and cook the biscuits. This should take about 30 seconds for an electric iron, or 2 to 4 minutes in a handheld iron over a medium flame. Carefully remove biscuits and cool on wire racks.
