Christmas Shortbread Cookies

Christmas Shortbread Cookies: Melt in mouth kind buttery soft and delicious shortbread cookies are perfect for Christmas season. These Christmas cookies would make the easiest and delicious Christmas gift to give to family and friends.

I made the cookies to give to some of my Husband’s colleagues for Christmas but they were all gone just in three days. Now I have to make another batch which I am going to hide or else the naughty girls and their dad would finish them all. The recipe is super simple and basically just needs three ingredients. I had rainbow sprinkles at home so I used them but for my next batch, I am going to use Christmas sprinkles to make them more festive.
