Always a hit no matter where I bring these and I make sure to put lots of the cinnamon/sugar mixture on both sides. Brown and slightly caramelized on the bottom is extra delish. Thumbs up!

With the new rating system I can only give these four stars but your shortbread is still a five star recipe. They really are a pleasant change from the normal cookies and bars.
