Peanut Butter Almond Shortbread cookies

These Eggless Peanut butter Almond Shortbread cookies are my way of gearing up for the coming Christmas fun. They are by far one of the best shortbread cookies I have baked in a long time and my family totally loved it. They are so easy to make, no need to freeze or refrigerate the dough and you can make the whole batch of cookies in flat 30 minutes. I added some twist to cookies by adding the crunch of almonds and flavor of cardamom.

Somebody recently asked me this question – You are an Indian, a Hindu and still celebrate Christmas? I laughed at it as I found the question itself to be so silly. I answered that I celebrate the spirit of Christmas and as a matter of fact many other festivals which might not be even Indian. For me, festival is a time to enjoy with your family and friends. I love cooking and food becomes a big part of the celebration. Festivals bring in joy, togetherness and good spirits to our homes. Christmas is round the corner and as always I have started gearing up for the fun. I was just surfing on internet for some Christmas ideas when I came across this recipe on Savoury Nothings blog. The cookies turned out to be so good! I have already soaked fruits to make some Spiced Rum Cake and I’m sure that these cookies going to get baked again and again. You won’t believe how much of cookie dough I ate today with 2 rounds of ginger tea 🙂 🙂 .. So, sharing the recipe with you all and wish you all a Merry Christmas and season’s greetings <3 <3
