Shortbread

“I live in Missouri, but many of my 'family tradition' recipes come from New Zealand. My parents moved there when I was 1, and that's when I grew up, so some have a 'Down Under' heritage. These special-occasion cookies bring back warm memories of my childhood, and I'm going to make sure they're passed on to the next generation in my family...no matter where they live!”
