I wanted to include a variety of tastes in my Christmas boxes this year. Since I decided to break tradition and not include Pizzelles, I thought these cookies could make up for that sugary cookie taste. This is my first time making shortbread, or really even eating it (yeah sheltered, I know, right!) So, I'm not even sure these had the classic shortbread taste. But, I liked them and heard my gift recipients did, too!
