Xmas Biscuits

[lozlg]

This xmas im going to give all my friends little bags of biscuits with their presents. Ive got my cellophane bags and star shapped stencil, now i just need a recipe. I was thinking of doing shortbread stars or maybe something with chocolate in. Ive found recipes on the net but wondered if someone could recommend something they have tried and tested. I want them to be mouth watering good so they ask for more :)
