Simple and Easy Melt in your Mouth Shortbread cookie recipe :

I can’t believe it’s one week to Christmas! I have a lot to do as I am hosting Christmas dinner this year after a hiatus since Zara was born. That means I have to cook and clean! All you mommas out there know my dilemma. I love hosting, but it can be a little daunting with an almost 2.5 year old who is always on the go.

One thing I also have started doing is baking cookies! I found the easiest and simplest recipe for melt in your mouth shortbread. Here is a link to the recipe:

I followed the recipe but took others suggestion and reduced the cooking time to 8 to 10 min. I also don’t take them off the parchment paper, as they can be pretty crumbly. I cool them on the counter on the parchment paper. The longer they cool for the less crumbly they are. These cookies are easy to make even if you are not a baker, and a hit with everyone!

Enjoy the holidays mommas! Happy baking! Let me know how they turned out.

Please note that I found this recipe on All recipes.
