    I have used Ina's pound cake and outrageous brownie recipes and they are wonderful!
    This however was a big disappointment. I followed the written instructions and ended up as many others - with dough that was too crumbly to roll out. I salvaged it by pressing into a baking dish to use for lemon bars.
    I am disappointed in the e-com people at The Food Network who need to be more accurate when posting these recipes online so the written instructions reflect the video; particularly for baking!
    I worked as a training specialist for Williams-Sonoma for several years and these kind of mistakes cost the company/customer money. I hope The Food Network takes these reviews seriously. With the current cost of ingredients I am not inclined to repeat this fiasco.

    I have used this recipe about 4 times now and I just love it. I followed the video recommendation of adding all ingredients at once and mix until thoroughly combined and just coming together. First time I used chocolate chips to coat the cookies (I do not recommend that, the chocolate stayed tacky. Next time I used Ghirardelli 60% chocolate bar and wow, what a difference! I have also tried adding slivered almonds to a batch and lemon zest to another batch (but I did not coat with chocolate. Both variances turned out great. My husband is a shortbread cookie monster so they do not last very long in our home…Thank you Ina.

    These were the perfect shortbread cookie! I read all the comments abou the dough not coming together and put everything in the Kitchen Aid at once. I added about a tablespoon of shortening as it was still a little crumbly, but that did the trick. They baked up beautifully and taste fantastic.

    Omg so good!! I replaced the flour with cake flour, put lemon zest of 1 lemon and reduced the temp since I'm in humid conditions. They were so good I skipped the chocolate. I had no issues with the ingredients sticking together, maybe the cake flour was the trick!

    I have made many shortbread recipes, all with lovely success -- until I met Ina's recipe. Beware!!! I could never get the ingredients to come together, though I followed the recipe. In preparing to write this review, I browsed other comments to find I was not alone. Apparently the video gives the secret to a better result. DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE!!!!

    YUMMO! I am not a baker per se so I read a lot or reviews before trying these. I made sure my butter was room temperature and was patient with my Kitchen Aid because of all the warnings about the dough. The dough came together beautifully - not crumbly at all. I followed the written instructions exactly and cut my dough in half before refrigerating because I wasn't sure I was going to need to make all the cookies. Well I did make them all, and I'm glad because they're amazing! Thank you Ina!!!

    My cookies spread in a pancake fashion. Should I be freezing them before baking? Flavor was good but they came out looking like blobs.

    I'm sure they would be tasty if the directions were written properly. Make sure to add all the ingredients at once like Ina does in the video. Otherwise you'll end up having a bowl full of sweet flour and it won't come together. Rewrite the steps please to coinside with the video. Unfortunately I watched the video after I had ruined it. So much for using good butter
