The Best Spiced Shortbread Cookie
Are you a cookie baker?
We bake a lot of cookies around the holidays. Some are a tradition that have been passed down for generations. We are also having fun coming up with some of our own recipes. We love to bake! A few years ago when I got started with essential oils it just made sense to start cooking with the vitality line that was available. It gives the cookies and baked goods such a unique, rich flavor. I know that the oils are pure and adding quality ingredients to what we make; so even better.
A while back my daughter and I wanted to bake a simple cookie but up it's flavor for the holidays. We came up with this spiced shortbread and man is it good. It's so easy to make too!

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is an 8x6 inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a knife, cut dough into 24, 2 by 1 inch strips.
