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.

    Sounds like an awesome event. So sorry I missed it. I’ll definitely make sure to book it ahead of time in my planner next year 🙂
    Was it crazy crowded inside?

    Elina – At the beginning it was really crowded in there. They had someone at the door controlling the number of people, so after the initial rush, it wasn’t so bad.
