Happy holiday season, friends! The cold weather and constant rain is setting in here in the Pacific Northwest, and we’re craving comfort food. It’s been a tough year, and there’s nothing like a few bites of sweetness to remind us that things won’t always be like this.

As an independently owned bakery, we put good into the world by bringing that sweetness into others’ lives. And our decorated shortbread cookies don’t just taste good—they look good, too! We’re pretty sure that, no matter which holidays you celebrate (or don’t), we’ve got the cutest winter and holiday cookies you can find.

Whether you’re into snowflakes or Santa, we’ve got something just for you. Check out some of our winter seasonal varieties below!
