Shortbread Cookies for Christmas gifts!

 

I made varieties of Shortbread Cookies. Above are Walnut Shortbread Cookies and Ginger Cookies (which my neighbor friend Marion Albrecht loves). 

For the recipe, search in this blog for Annie's Shortbread Cookies. 

For the Walnut Shortbread, bake 3 cups of walnuts in a 350 deg oven for 8 mins. Cool and chopped to tiny pieces. (I used a blender but do not blend for long. They have to be coarse). Follow the Shortbread Cookie recipe on this blog and at the end, add the chopped walnuts. 

For the Ginger flavor, chop ginger crystals (you can buy from Trader Joe's) into small pieces and add to the batter at the end.
