Christmas shortbread is very easy to make so they are perfect for the
children or to give to friends and family as DIY foodie Christmas
gifts.

Fill your shortbread with your favourite festive flavours like
chocolate, nuts, and spices.

Beat together the sugar and butter in a large bowl until pale and
fluffy. Stir in half the flour until combined then add the remaining
flour and use your hands to bring it together. Add your chosen
fillings and use your hands to bring the dough into a rough ball.

Roll the dough into a fat sausage, roughly 5 cm (2") in diameter. Wrap
tightly in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until
solid. See tip for freezing advice.

Preheat the oven to 200?C/180?C Fan/Gas 6/400?F and line a baking
tray with baking paper.

Unwrap the cling film and slice the sausage into 14 rounds, roughly 2
cm wide. Place onto the lined tray and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or
until the edges are beginning to brown but the tops have no colour.

Leave to cool slightly and enjoy. These will keep well for at least 1
week in a sealed container, but the fresher they are the better.
