Snow Flakes Shortbread Cookies

December is the best month for all bakers out there! It’s one fun filled month for sure, a lot of traditional, lot of fun goodies to bake this season. The energy and enthusiasm that fills the soul is amazing.

Since Christmas is just around the corner, I baked a variety of cookies. Daughter has Christmas party in her school and children are asked to carry snacks to share with each other. I decided to bake cookies for daughter’s school Christmas party. She will be carrying assorted cookie box! And she is already very excited about it!

Snowflakes shortbread cookies are ridiculously simple, easy to make, requires just a hand full of ingredients and tastes simply delicious! And the fun part, decorate it the way you want, even top it with sparkling sugar so they glisten like snowflakes. These cookie can be gifted to friends and family for Christmas.

I decided to keep the cookie decoration pretty simple for a reason – I have very shaky hands, I suck at work that requires intricacy! Go ahead and decorate the way you wish for your cookies. You can even use good quality food colors for your cookie decorations!

My food philosophy is simple, fresh and full of flavors! I love ‘spicy’ food. In fact so much so that I can skip dessert for extra spicy savory food!
