    Anissa Wolf's Note:

    This is the most amazing shortbread ever. Flaky and rich, and very very simple, I've never had a shortbread that compares to it.

      What a lovely recipe Anissa. We really enjoyed these quick and easy to make cookies. Who would have thought just a few ingredients could taste so good. My dh was in heaven, he forbid me to share these with the neighbors. He wants them all for himself. They were crisp and tender and oh so delicious. Thanks for sharing. Made for Fall Pac 2011
