Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread Cookies are a classic cookie that is often overlooked. I was always the weird one who ordered a box of shortbread cookies while others were ordering caramel delights and thin mints. I had no idea making Shortbread Cookies was so easy. Three simple ingredients come together in just a few minutes. You could be enjoying a Shortbread Cookie about 20 minutes after you print this recipe.
My sister thought these would be better with some sprinkles on them. In fact, she rolled some of her Snickerdoodles in sparkly sprinkles and we dubbed them Sparkledoodles. But I digress. I do agree that these could be made even more festive by rolling the edges in some sprinkles.

Recipe from Me Likey Food
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I made mine with cake like donuts instead….with all the baking and marinating and cooking I had to do for the 4th I didn’t have time to do the shortcakes so I used donuts….they were a hit….

Ohh… Donuts – that sounds like a great idea!
I do consider all the concepts you have introduced for yoyr post.
They’re really convincing and can definitely work.
Still, the posts are very short for newbies. Could yyou please prolong them a bit from subsequent time?
