Sage & Blue Cheese Shortbread

Nothing says Christmas quite like the combination of herbs, blue cheese, pecans and cranberry. The dough for these cocktail biscuits can be made ahead and frozen, then sliced and baked as needed. Delicious enough to serve without toppings (try star or tree shapes) and divine with the contrast of cranberry too.
