Winter solstice cookies

These rich, buttery Yule moon crescent cookies are a rich, nutty shortbread sprinkled with snow-white powdered sugar. They’re one of my favorite Christmas cookies, and I don’t think a holiday cookie plate is complete without them. They don’t require any rolling or chilling, and are easy and quick to shape and bake. They're simple enough for even your little helpers to shape, so definitely try these if you’re baking with kids! #holidaybaking #yule #crescentcookie #wintersolstice
