Instructions
Prepare your shortbread cookies and allow them to cool completely before adding toppings.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for a sweet cinnamon sugar topping.
In separate small bowls, place chopped almonds, chopped pistachios, mini chocolate chips, chopped dried cranberries, and shredded coconut individually for easy access.
In another small bowl, mix melted unsalted butter and honey until well combined to use as an adhesive for toppings.
Lightly brush the top surface of each shortbread cookie with the honey and butter mixture.
Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings over the brushed surface of each cookie, pressing gently to adhere.
Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to let the toppings set.
Serve and enjoy your enhanced shortbread cookies.
