Shortbread cookies are one of my favorites. While the title states that these are Holiday Shortbread Cookie Recipes, many of them can be baked all year long without looking "Christmassy."  I'm more of a plain shortbread lover and many of the recipes (for variety of course) contained fruits, nuts, flavorings. I did use the Butter Shortbread Slices recipe. It is a very basic recipe and you can find it most places. The author did confuse me with this sentence under Note:  "This is just purse butter shortbread...." I looked this up to make sure there wasn't a purse butter shortbread. I think she meant pure. I also tried the Traditional Scottish shortbread and much preferred this. Having spent significant time in England and Scotland drinking tea and eating shortbread cookies--the recipe and the cookies brought me back to some cold afternoons working with colleagues and taking that afternoon tea break!
