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.

    I’m thinking about making another one so I can take pics of slices. But since it’s for a contest I couldn’t… And we have a no camera policy at work… Yep, it’s decided, I’ll just have to make another one.

    Another pie is definitely in order! I’m thinking I’ll have to take this to the family Thanksgiving.

    So I think I’ll be using this one – given it combines my two favorite desserts (chocolate chip cookie bars and pie) into one tasty looking combo! Good work 😉

    Yes, this was very good. The inside was like a gooey just barely under cooked cookie. AWESOME.
