Raspberry Almond Shortbread Cookies

Do you have a treat or a certain food item that you look forward to every year around Christmas?? These cookies are what I get anxious for every holiday season. My dad started making these a few years back and the family fell in love. They have always seemed to be a crowd pleaser as well! Anytime I have a work party or a Christmas get together, this is my go-to recipe that I whip out. They are super simple to make and so delicious!
