Shortbread cookies are a staple during the holidays. Sure, we eat them all year round but it's around Christmastime that their rich, buttery greatness really gets appreciated. The classic shortbread is always a satisfying choice, but one of the best assets this cookie has is its ability to blend with so many different flavors. In other words, there are countless ways to make (and eat) shortbread.
Whatever holiday baking plans you have this year, we insist you consider adding the shortbread cookie to your lineup. They're easy to make, easy to gift and even easier to love. Here are the recipes that prove just that.
