As an added bonus, I will be sharing recipes from some of my blogger friends too. You will have lots of inspirations for your holiday baking.

DAY 2– Shortbread Cookies

These cookies have a delicious buttery taste with hints of vanilla. Super easy to make cookies that melts in your mouth. It is hard for me to stay out of the raw cookie dough. It tastes so good!

What I love best about these cookies are they are simple to make with a few ingredients. They are festive with candy sprinkles.

You can also bake ahead and freeze them.
