With holiday cookie season in full swing, I’m baking up lots o’ holiday flavor combos over here. Cranberry orange shortbread in the style of Alison Roman with those crispy, sugary edges came outta my oven this week and I gotta tell ya, they are banging.

We got a real holiday cookie winner over here!
