Homemade short bread biscuit. These German Christmas cookies are similar to shortbread and we bake them every year in December. The recipe makes a pretty large amount and they are pretty quick to make, since you only have to cut the dough, so perfect for last minute baking. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to ½ cm thick. Cut the dough into fingers and place on a lined baking tray.

These cookies are called Shortbread because the term "short" is used to describe cookies and pastries with a tender, crumbly melt-in-your-mouth texture. My family and friends love this classic holiday cookie. It's soft and buttery and just melts in your mouth. You can take it over the top by dipping in chocolate, drizzling glaze. They are also great as a homemade gift and perfect for dunking.
