Happy December!!!! The count down to Christmas has began. I’m still shopping for presents. Hopefully will wrap up shopping by the end of the week. I made the unfortunate mistake of venturing into the shopping centre yesterday and was it packed. So much human traffic, well it is to be expected at this time of the year.

Shortbread cookies have always been a personal favorite. They are buttery and just melt in your mouth. How easy they are to make is an added plus.  Historically only baked during Christmas New Year and wedding as it was an expensive luxury for the ordinary people.

Traditionally shortbread is made into one of three shapes, one large circle divided into wedges called Petticoat Tails , individual round biscuits also known as Shortbread Rounds or a thick rectangular slab cut into “Fingers“.

This traditional Scottish cookie has a modern day candy cane twist. Coating the baked shortbread cookies with melted white chocolate and crushed candy canes adds some extra Christmas spirit to these cookies.
