Spring is officially here! Yay!!! I'm so excited! I love the warmer weather and sunshine. We still have some snow where I live but it's slowly beginning to melt. The days are getting longer and the sun is finally making it's appearance again. With spring comes a fresh start as well as Earth Day! Earth Day falls on April 22nd this year and what better way to celebrate spring and a fresh start than with some tasty springtime Earth Day cookies?

I have a confession to make. I'm never tried had shortbread cookies before. Crazy, right?! After getting my Walker's Shortbread Fingers, I tentatively opened the packages. I really had NO idea what to expect. I told my friend this and she totally laughed saying shortbread was one of her favorites and it's addictive. I took a bite of a cookie and SHE WAS RIGHT. Oh my goodness. It's so good! I ate 3 Walker's Shortbread cookies in a matter of minutes before I even started to decorate them!

Walker's Shortbread are melt in your mouth deliciousness. They have the perfect amount of sweetness. Pair with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea and you will be in heaven.
