Raspberry Almond Shortbread Cookies

I�ve been so excited about posting this raspberry almond shortbread cookies recipe because it�s hands-down my favorite recipe of the year. It�s so very simple, but so amazingly good. These are just my kind of cookies, and they hold the spot as my favorite cookies to make during the holidays.
