I have not tried this YET but I will be. I was looking for a shortbread recipe just yesterday afternoon. Too bad I didn't see this one. The only changes I intend to make are leaving out the almond extract and possibly leaving the nuts off. But it sounds so close to the "real" shortbread that I can hardly wait to try this. THANK YOU!
