Best Loved Shortbread Cookies
You just can’t beat a classic shortbread cookie during the holiday season. Our family is especially obsessed (it’s one of Lo’s favorite cookies) and mostly because these are so delicious and butter-y that they melt in your mouth! Not only do these cookies look like a work of art (one of the prettiest cookies in our opinion), but they are also perfect to wrap up and gift to your friends, family and neighbors. We enjoy our Easy Shortbread Cookies recipe for simplicity’s sake, but this version has everything you would expect from the classic favorite. It’s also very similar to our Spritz Cookie Recipe and Butter Cookies. All favs for the holidays!
