i find them perfect and irresistible! there is one problem though! you will never get approx 65 cookies out this recipe. i've even doubled it and still not quite come to that amount!

I really liked the recipe. I made the chai ones, but I also half-dipped them in Hershey's special dark chocolate and I think that really made them.

I made the pecan variation for a PTA luncheon and they were a huge hit. I dipped them in chocolate then sprinkled ground pecans. Have been asked by several people for the recipe.

sorry, but not a fan. really wanted to like them - especially using powdered sugar vs. granulated which can give a nicer, lighter taste. but absolutely flavorless. i added some loose tea to the batch to help add some ummpphh, but no luck. needs something sweet for a little "kick". also, make sure you let them sit on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes before trying to move to the cooling rack. can be difficult to immediately transfer.

Good recipe. Hadn't tried shortbread biscuits before, so it was nice to have them work out well the first time. I don't have a food processor so I just worked everything together the old-fashioned way by kneading together with my hands.

Some additional notes: (1 No need to use icing sugar: standard table sugar will work just fine. (2 As noted previously, the stated yield probably refers to the total that you'd get if you made three batches: "classic" plus variants. (3 For an additional variant, add about three teaspoons each of lemon juice and lemon zest.

I must have done something wrong--In the first place 65 cookies?? I followed directions and only had 30 cookies. Plus they were tasteless!

OMG my family was very impressed, and they are quite discerning. VERY EASY but more important very tasty. I'll make this easy recipe again. I added an entire cup of toasted chopped pecans and a 1/2 tsp of almond liquid to give these an ultra nutty taste. After cooking and cooling, I dipped the entire cookie in powdered sugar. A 5 star cookie.

Excellent recipe! After attempting (and failing at very many shortbread recipes over the years, I am thrilled to find this one. It worked and is absolutely the perfect shortbread cookie. Thank You Claire Robinson
