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 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. 
Cannolis have to be one of my absolute favorite desserts… BOOKMARKING THIS! Yum!
Love this idea…i felt they were kinda missing the crunch of the cannoli shell…so I used some broken up peices of storebought sugar ice cream cones as sone added garnish…perfect touch
Making these now for Christmas Day – they can be refrigerated that long if sealed, right?

Sorry for not replying sooner, I was offline for the holidays. The cupcakes can def be kept in the fridge for a couple days. Hope they turned out for you.
Tried the recipe, turned out way too loose to pipe Cheese was strained for 24 hours. Flavor was fine. Tried adding more powdered sugar to thicken it up. Didn’t work and eventually just tasted like sugar. Any suggestions?
