Cookies that Keep
Slice and Bake Shortbread
One of my favorite things to do for most any holiday, especially Christmas, is to bake gourmet cookies to give to friends and family. Only special cookies will do! Betty's Best Damn Brownies, shortbread cookies, honey pecan bars, chocolate crackle tops, just to name a few. A mixture of flavors, textures and colors to make the box of cookies a work of art! I buy decorated boxes in November
and then plan how many recipes I have to make to have enough cookies to fill them. It takes me a couple of days to do the bakng but, it is a true labor of love for me.
Watch the timing on these, they are done as soon as edges lightly brown. Slice about 3/8 inches thick. They do not need icing but, I do roll them in colored sugar for color.
This recipe has wonderful flavor and melts in your mouth. They keep for about a week .
