Dear Readers,
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Boule de neige et jour de l'an, Et bonne année grand-mère ! Vive le vent.....
You must be hearing Christmas songs everywhere. This time of the year is so special for everyone and especially for kids. They make a long list of their demands, write a letter to Father Christmas (Santa Claus) and they do not forget to say that "they have been nice and gentle".....
It is a tradition to decorate Christmas trees at home, at work and almost every where in the Western World.

On this special occasion of Christmas and New Year let's bake some cookies and cakes without egg. To replace eggs in your recipe, you can use egg replacer, flaxseeds, banana, etc. I have used condensed milk in many recipes. I have also used butter in most of the recipes, but one can replace it with vegetable oil as per need. You can also replace milk with soy milk if you have any dietary restrictions.
Please try these baking goods and do not forget to write your valuable comments. Happy Baking
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
