Gingerbread & Shortbread: Two Holiday Favourites

Gingerbread and shortbread are two holiday baking essentials. Which do you prefer? Gingerbread brings a crunchier, spicier flavour to the cookie jar. Gingerbread cookies are household favourites for their decorating abilities, making everything from cute people cut-outs, to elaborate houses, to intricately embellished snowflakes and other shapes. Gingerbread cookies add a fun flair to your holiday baking list.

Shortbread is another wonderful treat during the holidays. It adds a little something extra to your baking with its soft and creamy texture. Shortbread can be formed into a variety of designs from basic cutouts dipped in chocolate, to shapes covered with sprinkles, and balls rolled with icing sugar and finished off with a candied cherry. Whether gingerbread or shortbread this season, it's bound to bring some holiday goodness to your Christmas baking.
