Cranberry Shortbread Valentine Day Cookies

Cranberry shortbread cookies are a quick, easy, and delicious treat that is super easy to make. They’re great for Valentines Day, but because of the cranberries in them, they’d be great during the fall holidays, too.

I just have a quick minute, but I wanted to post the picture of these cute cranberry shortbread cookies that I made for the boys as a Valentine’s day gift.  This cranberry shortbread is super easy to make, and very yummy.

Cranberry Shortbread Cookies Recipe - Dried cranberries are added to buttery, soft shortbread. The perfect cookie recipe for the sweetie in your life.
Incidentally, if you make shortbread cookies for your kids, you’re entitled to ask for extra hugs. It’s worth the trade-off. ????

Because the shortbread is a Valentine’s Day gift, these cookies are heart-shaped. Obviously, you can use any type of cookie cuter that you like. There are dried cranberries in the shortbread, which makes them a bit fall-inspired, too. If you plan to make them in the fall, consider adding some fall spices to the shortbread dough, such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Adding a drizzle of white chocolate ganache to the top of the cookies would be delicious, too!

Oh, and if you love cookies (and really, why wouldn’t you?), you might also like my recipe for banana chocolate chip cake mix cookies.

 I hope your sweeties enjoy these cranberry shortbread cookies!
