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 loooove this stuff. I’ve always called it Muddy Buddy, though.
I made this as treats to the humans from our 2 dogs. My mom fell in love with it and went out right away and bought the ingredients. Merry Christmas.
Everyone always raves about this stuff but I confess: I’ve never had it! I was allergic to peanuts during childhood 🙁
But it looks so good that I think I need to give it a try now!
This stuff is sooo good. I’ve never made it myself, but have had it several times. Perhaps I’ll make it sometime soon.
One of my college roommates made this for us, and I’ve been in love with them since! We usually use Crispix, though, which is rice and corn. =)
We love that stuff too! We make it for our friends all the time and they can’t stop eating it.
Like Joy said, we use Crispix too.
Why is this called Puppy Chow mix? At first I thought it was for dogs and was alarmed by the chocolate chips in the ingredients…
No idea why it’s called Puppy Chow… That’s just what we always called it…
