Christmas Shortbread Cookies have to be one of the best Christmas cookies to make during the holidays. Make them even better by dipping half of the cookie in chocolate and adding sprinkles, yum! Today we have a delicious recipe to share with you and an amazing Christmas Giveaway too!
Thanksgiving is over and the Christmas season is upon us, that means decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping and all the fun parts of this time of year. Last year I made sell over 1000 cookies on my own, with 20 different varieties. It was a little bit crazy around The Taylor House. This year we have an early celebration and I’m cutting back on the amount of cookies that I’m making, there just isn’t time to get all of the two dozen types on my list in before our first gathering.
I’m picking a few new cookies to make and a few of my traditional cookies and I’m getting them done this week. The first cookie that I have to share with you is a Christmas shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate (I use CandiQuik, it’s my favorite!)
