- If you"re off to The Netherlands for the holidays you will find which many parts of a Christmas Tree are edible, namely the decorations. Kerstkransjes are the traditional cookie decoration for many Dutch homes. Children are encouraged to remove a cookie each night during the Twelve Days of Christmas, or possibly when they have been particularly good during the day.
- The Cook & Kitchen Staff at Recipe-a-day.com simply encourage you to treat yourself to this fine holiday tradition from The Netherlands today, as we hear you have been very, very good!

In a small, separate mixing bowl, mix flour, baking pwdr and lemon peel together. Add in the flour mix, a small portion at a time, to the honey mix, blending continually. Knead the completed mix into a soft ball, adding more flour if necessary. Wrap and refrigeratedough for 1-hour.
