Description

These assorted spiced shortbreads are perfect for the holiday season! I love preparing this recipe because it allows you to vary the flavors and create pretty decorative cookies. The dough is easy to work with and the spices add a warm and festive touch. With notes of vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and anise, these shortbreads are a real treat for the taste buds. They are ideal to accompany a coffee or tea during cold winter days. In addition, they keep very well in an airtight box, which allows them to be prepared in advance. A must for Christmas!

Arrange one type of cookie on the lightly oiled baking sheet or use a silicone baking sheet, ideal for shortbreads. Bake halfway up and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
