Glorious Scottish Shortbread
I LOVE shortbread cookies!
I remember staying at home one sumer when I was in college. I decided at the last moment that I wanted to bake a treat to have for the family when they got home. I had limited baking supplies, but I did have what was needed to bake Shortbread. The joys of 3 ingredient recipes!
Here is an old favorite!
