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.

These look SO delicious! I love cookies, especially as the holidays approach. Always on the lookout for new ideas! Thanks for sharing this one!
These look great! I did a S’mores brownie not to long ago and since then I have been craving more! There is something about S’mores that is just soooo awesome 🙂
These beauties not look any cuter. And of course, they look super delish as well.
I’ve had these kind of cookies before. (Someone else baked them, not me!) they are so good!

They look great! What a fun idea. I love S’mores everything! Over the summer, I had a very casual party, just days before my wedding, and made a bunch of toaster s’mores. They were so easy and a big hit!
I LOVE smores and will be trying these soon!!!
I’m getting ready to make these tomorrow and I’m just wondering how many cookies this makes…
Jes – It makes around 3 dozen. I updated the post to say that as well. Hope you enjoy them.
