Whipped Shortbread - 12 Days of Cookies - Baked Occasions

I got behind during the holidays and our own personal traditional baking during the season. We did end up getting the shortbread made before the holidays and now I am getting to posting it. This recipe was surprisingly simple and quick to put together. It also made a lot of cookies with standard ingredients, so if you're having a group over last-minute this recipe is a great one to use. These are rich and buttery, but the flavor is not too overpowering. They are a great treat with a cup of coffee or tea.

They reminded me a little bit of Russian teacakes without the powdered sugar. My children thought they were a little bit boring without chips, or marshmallows, or sprinkles, or icing, so maybe more of a grown-up cookie. There's not much more to say about these cookies. They are simple but delicious, so go make some!
