Shortbread cookies are extremely delicious and can be made into different shapes. They are also one of the most simple cookies to make and customizable as well because you can add jams and things. All you need is:

2 cups of flour

1/4 cup of sugar

1 and a half sticks of butter

Just mix all of the ingredients together and be sure to use slightly softened butter, use your hands if the batter is too crumbly. Then just roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick and cut out shapes by hand or use cookie cutters. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

My daughter and I made flower and heart shapes.  I actually left a really small mold of dough for her to play with and she made her own shapes, it was pretty cute.
