Christmas Baking with Jordan

Christmas Baking:
What could be more fun than spending Saturday baking with your eight year old granddaughter? Through the years Jo and I have done baking together. This year she really did make the shortbread like a pro. This recipe was handed down from my Grannie, who was from Scotland and her shortbread was made by her till she was well into her eighties.
Jo made sure she washed her hand thoroughly and then mix and folded till no grains of sugar existed. Rolling out the dough like an expert then added her talent drawing on each shape that she chose to do. She took special care for the ones for her Mom and Dad and brother Jesse. I am sure she will end up loving to bake and hopefully will remember these special times with her Gram.
