This recipe was horrible!! Did not turn out like a shortbread at all. Flat, and ugly. Fallowed the recipe to a T. It's too bad, I love the coffee/cookie combo, guess i will keep searching.

These are delicious! I love TOH and am rarely, if ever, disappointed in their recipes! The only thing I did different besides halve the batch was use instant espresso granules in place of the coffee for a stronger flavor. These are a yummy little cookie I made for some Chirstmas trays and I thank you for posting! :)
