Very good and extremely easy. These are the firm/dense type of shortbread and go great with a cup of tea. They were a cinch to make, the dough was very easy to handle and cut. The cherry bits make them look very festive. I sprinkled the sugar on before baking and it kind of crystalized on top a bit - very nice. Made for PAC Fall 2009.1Reply
