Recipe: Shortbread Cookies

March 24, 2009

If you’ve been around here very long, you know that I love to bake and make things from scratch. One thing you may not have figured out, though, is I really don’t like making cookies. It seems that I just don’t have the attention span for them. I’m a chewy cookie girl, so they don’t [...]
