These cookies are awesome! I had never made shortbread cookies before, but from now on, these are it! Wanted a crispy like cookie for my afternoon coffee. So easy and simple to make, I did chill my dough for about an hour as I had other thing to do. Takes only a few ingredients and I doubled the receipt as I knew they wouldn't last long! You MUST use real butter, no substitutions. I only had salted butter and still delicious. Butter is better for you anyway, not that yucky oleo/margarine stuff.

Great!!!! Melt in your mouth cookies that are fantastic!!!! When mixing the butter, I used my hands rather than a wooden spoon and I think that made it alot easier! I decorated mine with Christmas sprinkles, baked them for exatly 15 minutes and ended with a great cookie! Thanks for the recipe mmlwjr!

My DH & i moved closer to where he works, next door to his parents so we are there to help them when they get older.
I like to cook experiment with foods, so i will have more time for this.
I really do like this site & the support we get from friends we do not know.
