A unique twist on a holiday staple, these Green Tea Shortbread Cookies are destined to be a new classic!

Shortbread cookies are a staple at Christmas. Their melt-in-your-mouth smoothness has made them the centerpiece of every cookie tray. I decide to try my own twist, with the addition of green tea. The result were not only boosted by the power of antioxidants, but tasted great too!
