Shortbread
Every year Lindsay from Love and Olive Oil and Julie from The LIttle Kitchen host the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. We bloggers get to throw our names in a hat and we’re given three other food bloggers names. We then send each of those bloggers a dozen cookies and we receive a dozen cookies from three others. I’ve received popcorn chocolate chip cookies and cranberry chocolate chip cookies. yuMMMMy!
I shipped out simple shortbread cookies because sometimes simple is best 🙂
These cookies have been baked by my Great Tante (Norwegian for Aunt) Glad ever since I was teeny tiny.
They’re quick, they’re easy and they’re ALWAYS devoured….
Shortbread

In the photo I made half the Shortbread plain and the other half I dipped in chocolate and then crushed candy canes. Mmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmmm.
