Out of all my Christmas cookies, this is my MOST requested of all! A happy accident one year when I was in a creative mood. I have many requests at Christmas for tins with just this cookie.

Buttery and slightly crisp, these festive raspberry shortbread cookies are a nice treat. With the color of the sweet raspberry jam in the center, they remind us of Christmas or Valentine's Day. What pulls all the flavors together is the lovely white chocolate drizzle.
