Shortbread is a Christmas favourite for us too – so much fun making shortbread and decorating it and then wrapping it and giving as gifts. Of course minus the ones we eat along the way!

  Shortbread is also such an easy and fun recipe for children to make with parents. Shortbread can be personalised with special decorations too – endless possibilities for the festive and fun season in the kitchen.
