THE SHORTBREAD COOKIE
Ranking up at the top of the list for many people during the holiday season, the shortbread cookie is a clear contender.

According to Wikipedia "Shortbread originated in Scotland and unlike many other biscuits and baked goods, shortbread does not contain any leavening, such as baking powder or baking soda. Although it was prepared during much of the 12th century, the refinement of shortbread is popularly credited to Mary, Queen of Scots in the 16th century. "
