Simple shortbread cookies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I decorated the cookies with pumpkin seeds, but you can use sunflower seeds, nuts, dried fruits, or skip the decoration altogether. All the ingredients are usually available in the fridge, making these cookies budget-friendly as well. A great option for everyday baking. Serve with tea or coffee.
