This is a lovely, buttery, delicious shortbread with the warming, gentle spices of Meat Tinsel to get you in the Christmas mood. It also smells wonderful while it is cooking! You can roll out the dough and make biscuits with cookie cutters or cook in a baking tin and cut it into squares or rectangles. This festive shortbread is ideal to make with little people and to have ready for when guests arrive or put into gift bags to give as presents.
