Best ever Christmas cookies! We put these out every year and they get snatched up quick!
By Holly Owens
Whipped shortbread cookies are a holiday classic in my family. Every year, as soon as the first snowflakes start to fall, I find myself in the kitchen, whipping up a batch of these buttery, crumbly delights. They’re incredibly light, practically melting in your mouth, and the addition of festive Christmas sprinkles makes them perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet gift for friends and neighbors. These cookies are a breeze to make, which is a blessing for someone like me, juggling work and holiday preparations.
These whipped shortbread cookies are perfect on their own, but if you’re looking to create a festive spread, consider pairing them with a hot cup of cocoa or a spiced chai latte. They also make a lovely addition to a holiday cookie platter, alongside gingerbread cookies and peppermint bark. For a cozy afternoon treat, enjoy them with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea.
