Peppermint Shortbread Bars

So- I’m sure by now you have noticed that I am on a Peppermint kick right now. I can’t seem to help myself. It’s that time of year & it’s so YUMMY. I love trying it with all my usual holiday cookie recipes. This time I decided to mix in those little peppermint bits into my favorite holiday shortbread cookie recipe to create something a little extra special.

Peppermint Shortbread Bars

Buttery & rich with those little bits of peppermint to give your mouth a little pop.
