    This recipe may take some time, but it is great! So easy to put together, and with so many variations to make with this basic recipe, how can you lose? Our favorite vatiation -- Lemon.

    I made cookies out these and added 1 tsp real vanilla. I rolled into balls and pressed an indentation and added a few dark chocolate chips to one tray and raspberry preserves to the other tray. Everyone loved these!!

    I followed the recipe exactly, using unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of salt.
    The shortbread came out way too salty! I am trying to save them by dipping the tips in chocolate.... let's hope because I made 2 batches.
