If you've never tried shortbread before you will be totally impressed with this recipe. I know my family could't quite eating these. Didn't change a thing.

I have not had much luck with homemade cookies and this was my first attempt at a shortbread. OMG!!! They came out PERFECT! I used almond extract like a few others and the came out so yummy that I'm looking forward to trying cinnamon, vanilla and even raspberry varieties! Thanks for a wonderful recipe that even a cookie dope like me couldn't mess up!

These were so easy and so good. They reminded me of Grandma, she always had a package of short-bread cookies in the drawer. I didn't use a cookie press, just rolled a tsp amount and pressed it down on the cookie sheet. Frosted with buttercream frosting and they were melt-in-your-mouth delish.

These are really buttery and delicious!! I did not alter anything. I've tried a few other short bread recipes, and these are the best!!! I melted some semi-sweet chocolate and dipped the top in it. Awesome recipe!!

Followed the recipe ALMOST exactly--I used almond oil instead of vanilla. Way better than store bought We will be making these again. Super easy, super cheap, and super delicious.

My family loved this recipe. It reminded them of the cookies our great aunt used to make. My Grandparent have actually asked ME to send them care packages!!!! They're so easy to make! If I can do it anyone can. Thanks for sharing!

Nice taste but not sweet enough...it was more "floury" as others said. I was looking for a good recipe for a cookie press but this was too dense. I'll stick to the recipe on the back of my cornstarch box if I want shortbread...

I added nutmeg to some, and lemon zest to the other half. They were best dipped in chocolate. I melted chocolate and then let it cool, and it became an interesting frosting. If you cook them just a bit under, they are soft, and just a bit over and they are crunchy, good both ways.

These cookies were fantastic! They remind me of the wonderful shortbread that I get in Maui, and they are sooooo easy to make. I did not have a cookie press, so I rolled the dough into walnut sized balls, and flattened them with my thumb. I also quartered the recipe, since I only had one stick of butter. It worked perfect, especially with the addition of mini chocolate chips:) If you make these with margarine (I used Smart Balance in a test batch), the texture stays the same, but the cookies take on a margarine flavour. It really is best to use butter for these cookies for taste purposes. If you do not mind the margarine flavour, less cholesterol, healthier fats, and some omega in your cookies, then you can use Smart Balance. Either way, I love these cookies. Next time, I will try mini chocolate chips, in addition to dipping them in chocolate. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Sally :)

I voted 4 stars because they were good cookies, still a little on the floury side even after adding vanilla. I also added an m&m to the tops for the kids. However, I really enjoyed the cookies!

This was a good recipe. However, I couldn't give it 5 stars as it tasted a bit "floury" for me. Next time, I will try almond instead of vanilla to see if it makes a difference.

Taste just like the shortbread cookies in a tin you buy during the holidays. Yum! Added 2tsp almond extract as some reviews suggested. For half of my batch I added chopped walnuts to top of cookies before placing in oven. Cookies tasted even better.
