A hit every time with dinner guests - I have never received so many compliments on a desert!! I usually bake this in 2 pie plates instead of a jelly-roll pan, then cut pie shaped wedges. I use 2 bags of frozen berries (blackberry seems to be the favorite), heat them 'til bubbling and spoon over each wedge of shortbread. I use all organic ingredients so everyone feels a wee bit better about consuming such a decadent treat :)

Very good cookies! So delicate, light and delicious! Good with a bit of homemade jam on top or some icing :) I rolled mine out onto a floured surface and used cookie cutters. Baked on greased cookie sheets at 350 for 12 minutes.

Was looking for a Key Lime Shortbread recipe, this was a good basic recipe to start with I added 2 T of powdered sugar to the dry and 4 T of fresh squeezed Key Lime juice to the creamed butter and sugar. It could of used some zest, but I was afraid to slice my fingers on the itty bitty key limes!!! I used a cookie press to create bite sized cookies and baked for 13 mins @ 350! Every loved them.

This was so easy to make, not to mention delicious, I love the buttery flavor and I am eager to put and almond flavoring in the next batch that I make.

I actually used 2 sticks of butter and 2 sticks of margarine and the flavor was perfect. I also omitted the cornstarch and added 1 tsp. vanilla. I cut mine into squares and baked on a cookie sheet as well. I didn't have cornstarch on hand and I only had 2 sticks of margarine/butter so I had to compromise but it is sooo dang delicious!

Love this recipe! The only change I made was to add about 1c. bacon crumbles. I drizzled them with maple glaze. They just melt in your mouth! Next time I will add something else like Earl Grey tea or sage. Thanks Mazie!

I was a little nervous with trying this one but after reading the reviews I jumped with both feet in and I am glad I did. I did use butter as the recipe called for and can taste the lovely rich flavor of the butter. I did also add a tsp of vanilla just because. These cookies melt in your mouth. I used a cookie scoop and the bottom of a glass to flatten them out. I did adjust the oven temp to 350 and checked after 12 mins. I enhanced some with a dip in cinnamon sugar, some I pressed mini chocolate chips into and some I added an orange flavored icing. I am so glad I tried this recipe, thanks so much for sharing it.

Outstanding recipe. These were delicious. I decided to make some because I was tired of buying cookies for my husband's coffee as he always wants a few shortbread cookies with it. These are amazing. I am sending them to work with him in the morning to share. I did put them on a large cookie sheet and flattened them evenly with a roller then cut them when they came out of the oven. They were perfect. This is the very best recipe for both ease and taste!!

Perfect shortbread for my needs. I was using the shortbread as a base for a homemade Twix experiment and the flavor and texture was just what I needed. Will use this recipe for future baking experiments. Thank you Mazie
