It was good to me but others thought differently it was very dry and crumbly I have no clue how yoU would cut these in to shapes obviously the pic was fake but I liked the cookie it needs more butter or oil or something to make it more moist

I was making these for my Dad's birthday (he loves shortbread) and I thought the hearts in the photos would be a nice touch. But my dough seemed so dry and fragile that I just made them as written. (What says "I love you" more than a wedge shape?!) After I drizzled them with chocolate, and before the chocolate set, I sprinkled them with flaked coconut. They looked beautiful and tasted heavenly! (Yes, I stole one before wrapping them for Dad. Shhh!)

I was concerned that there wasn't enough sugar to make them taste good, and I was right. I wanted to roll them into a log and then slice (which I did after rolling them in sprinkles). I didn't have the mini chocolate chips so I drizzled the finished cookies with vanilla bark. Pretty presentation for little Halloween cookies but the taste leaves a lot to be desired. I'll search for a better cookie next time. *** Update... I've changed it to a 5 star recipe after tasting them the next day, they were perfect and I'll make them again! They were a hit at work too!

These cookies are a tasty treat with coffee or tea. Not too sweet. After adding the flour mixture the dough would not pull together so I added 2 Tbs of sour cream which worked beautifully. I rolled the dough into a log, rolled the log in colored sprinkles, wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled for an hour in the fridge. Cut the log into 1/4 inch rounds and baked. Had to watch the cooking time so the bottoms would not brown too much. For me these cookies did not need 25 minutes to bake. Very good.

This was a BIG mistake!!! Why? Because I'm ADDICTED to this recipe! The first time I made it I almost ate the dough before baking, until I discovered how good the finished cookies are. Now I can't stop playing around with the basic recipe. I've made several variations: Chocolate laced, plain, (w/out chocolate) Pecan sandies, Lemon, Lemon Lavender, and I've decorated with frosting and fondant flowers. The dough holds it's shape while baking, so it makes beautiful cutouts and springerle. Wonderful,Wonderful recipe!!

I'm not sure how to judge these.... the dough was very dry, and I think the dough isn't held together properly. Nice flavour, but not best shortbread.

Very easy recipe. Yummy shortbread cookie, with or without the chocolate chips. I only baked cookies for 15 minutes, left them soft on the inside, crispy on outside. My greatest recommendation, double the batch, so you have many more cookies to eat.....
