It’s almost Christmas and I know a lot of you guys are looking for the perfect cookie recipe…look no further! These little Whipped Shortbread Christmas Cookies will make the perfect homemade gift — they’re super pretty and fun to bake!

Swedish Ginger Cookies (Pepparkakor) Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Besides being cute Christmas tree ornaments, I found they also make the perfect nice little addition to a rustic gift wrapping.
