In response to "Not A Real Shortbread!"
1. if you used the butter cold it will come out better, if you used a poor quality butter you will get too much water and a different consistency.
2. orange BLOSSOM water, doesn't taste like orange, it taste like orange BLOSSOM water.

There is WAY TOO MUCH BUTTER in this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies basically became a sugar cookie. They totally flattened out! The picture in the magazine is HIGHLY misleanding. They looked great when I cut them, but they four sticks of butter is way too much and I should have known better for a shortbread. Anyway if you do decide to make this cut the butter, maybe in half. Also up the orange. I used the orange blossom water and also put in 1/4 tsp of orange oil. Still no real orange flavor. I WILL NOT make this recipe again... Or at least not as it is written! The Food Network test kitchens should test this first! Also use more precise measurements. I mean what does "4 stick of butter" really mean. That assumes that all "sticks of butter" are the same... But they are not!

Yum! I made these a couple nights ago after being very intrigued by the recipe. I used orange zest (about 2 tsp and a squirt of orange juice (about 1 tsp instead of the orange-flower extract. It was a perfect. There is a small hint of orange which pairs well with the cardamom. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us FN Magazine!
