Vanilla Protein Reindeer Shortbread.

The wait is over. We’re just over a week out from the big day. It’s time to turn up Michael Bublé album and digest foods that are either packed with sultanas, cinnamon or chocolate. Christmas is well and truly here!!

When I was little, I was obsessed with Reindeers. Every year I’d convince myself I could hear them on the roof or see Rudolf’s red nose glowing in the sky.  So this year, I thought I’d re-create that memory in true foodie fashion. So today I bring you, Reindeer Shortbread!

Super simple to make and super tasty, these will definitely be a hit with the family this year. Perfect with a cuppa and a Christmas movie!
