Customizable Christmas Cookie Recipies

These Simple Shortbread Cookies are Made to Be Personalized

— December 8, 2015 — Lifestyle
'Bustle' recently put together a completely customizable recipe for simple shortbread cookies. With so many cookie recipes popping up this time of year, it can be somewhat overwhelming to know which ones are worth the effort. This tasty recipe provides a foolproof way to make a batch of cookies that will please friends and family alike.

The simple shortbread cookies are made from just four ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, butter and a pinch of salt. It's most likely that you have all of these ingredients on hand already, meaning this recipe involves very little preparation time. Once the batter is prepared, the cookies need to be baked until golden brown. The cookies can then be decorated with any number of ingredients, making this recipe completely customizable.

With so many toppings to choose from, these cookies can be customized for every person on your list.
Trend Themes
1. Customizable Cookies - Opportunity for businesses to offer customizable cookie options, allowing customers to personalize their treats.
2. Simplified Recipes - Innovation opportunity for companies to create and promote simple recipes using minimal ingredients and preparation time.
3. Personalized Baking - Potential for businesses to provide personalized baking experiences, offering customers the chance to decorate and customize their own baked goods.
Industry Implications
1. Food & Beverage - Food and beverage companies can create customizable cookie kits or pre-made dough that customers can easily bake and decorate.
2. Baking Supplies - Opportunity for baking supply companies to market decorating kits, sprinkles, and other personalized cookie toppings.
3. Gifts & Retail - Retailers can offer personalized cookie gift boxes or cookie decorating workshops for customers looking for unique and customizable gifts.
