Happy Friday, friends! Let's celebrate with cookies, shall we? I'm just going to put it all out there and tell you I saved the best for last. Funfetti shortbread is definitely my "it" cookie of the season! The most wonderful shortbread recipe filled with an epic amount of holiday sprinkles! They're like a party waiting to happen! I'm smitten with these festive gems and the best part is you can make them two different ways; cut outs or slice and bake! How's the holiday baking going? It's been cookie madness in my kitchen all week and ...
Best Ever Eggnog Cookies
The cookies are here, the cookies are here! Sorry for shouting, but I'm really excited to share these eggnog cookies with you! Are you a fan of eggnog? I have to admit that it wasn't until last year I discovered my love for it.

Okay, I could go on and on right now about how yummy these cookies are - I mean there's baileys in the dough! We could talk about how you need to make them, and how that pop ...

I can't help but smile when I look at them! Of course I had to give them sparkly hats, because thats what all penguins wear, right?! They're perfect for holiday parties, and were pretty simple to put together too. For the cupcakes I used my vanilla cupcake recipe that I used in the Holiday cupcake tree. At first I thought they might be difficult to decorate, but ...
