Spiced Shortbread Cookies

When it comes to Christmas cookies I have my top 5 favorite and all of them have the same base: shortbread. It has a rich buttery taste with a crumbly soft texture. By adding some spice I take them to the next level.

You can cut them in any shape you may like, but wedges make give them a sophisticated look without the use of cookie cutters. They are bigger and great to dip in coffee, tea, eggnog, or hot chocolate.

Since I this year I have a huge list of people I need to gift for, these Spiced Shortbread Cookies are great to fit in a box with tissue paper or in a cellophane bag. Hence, my lack of glaze or frosting.

My favorite spices used in these cookies are ginger, allspice, and cinnamon. The smell of the kitchen as they bake it’s just out of this world.

With every bite you take, you’ll taste Christmas. You can also add some nutmeg or chili for a different edge. The shape is super simple to make and your kids can help you. My girls loved doing the edges and using a fork to poke the little holes.

The cookies can be made gluten free just by substituting with GF all purpose flour. The dough will be a bit softer and stickier but the taste will be exactly the same.

If you’re not a fan the spices, simply omit them in the recipe and substitute either will citrus zest (lemon, orange, lime) of pure vanilla extract.
