One DAMN good Holiday Cookie Recipe
Never thought 2021 would be the year I’d be tying on an apron, but hey, starting Biked Goods this year has been an amazing ride! We kicked off the new year by baking almond flour shortbread cookies from a recipe by Minimalist Baker. Add on top a cashew brown butter frosting and your not so typical, yet super yum and fun toppings, and you get One DAMN Good Holiday Cookie Recipe.
