South Sudanese traditions dictate baking Cookies at Christmas

In South Sudan, the Christmas period is always the home baking period where families would make different kinds of cookies and biscuits. This is sort of a rite in South Sudan. These cookies and biscuits are shared with friends, neighbors and guests. This practice is still ongoing in South Sudan and I for one a South Sudanese living in the United States of America is still indulging in this rite. My family and I with the help of my sister usually make different kinds of cookies to feel the home away from home ambience.

Making these cookies always involves the whole family and it’s through this that families usually bond with each other. However, the Christmas period is here and we have simple recipes to help you in your home baking. Here is one video tutorial on how to bake Christmas cookies from Taste of South Sudan https://youtu.be/Hsy02SV5hVU . Watch more videos on the channel.
