Candy Cane Snowballs

How about a little Christmas baking? These candy cane snowballs are super cute shortbreads! They are perfect during the Christmas season!

Candy Cane Snowballs

Do you love Christmas baking? I absolutely love it! Shortbread cookies are one of my favourite Christmas goodies to make. These are especially delicious because of the candy cane topping  and it makes such a pretty cookie for the holidays. They are perfect if you are taking something to a Christmas bake sale or having Christmas tea.

I made these for my daughter’s class one year and they were a huge hit with the kids. They devoured them! I’m sure you’ll love them too!
