For those who rated this recipe poorly (too crumbly, if you are using a hand mixer as opposed to a kitchen aid mixer, you need to continue to beat past the crumbly stage for the dough to come together. When the "crumbles" cease to be floury and get clumpy, the dough will hold together for chilling/cooking. Solid recipe,even better with a bit more salt.

All that i was able to get out of the recipe was a bunch of crumbs. I had to add one cup of water just to get the dough to stick together. I was so disappointed with this recipe, I have lost faith in this website. I strongly recommend for people to not try this recipe because if it could go bad so easily than it is a waste of time.

I am trying this recipe right now as I am typing this. I mixed it up and it was all crumbly to. I tried to form it into a flat round and move it onto the sranwrap and it fell a part. So I tried to form it again and it still remain that way. I will see how it looks after chilling it but I don't want to make this one again. Its not going to work if its a pain like this.

Another fabulous recipe from Ina! I was shocked at how quickly I made these -- and with ingredients I usually have in the house anyway! I mixed half semi-sweet and half milk chocolate for the ganache. My friends loved them. One said they tasted professional like something you'd buy at the store. All asked for the recipe. Thanks again Ina!

Absolutely delicious. I used a bench knife to cut rectangles since I don't have a rectangle cookie cutter.

I feel like shortbread cookies just by their nature can be a little cantankerous especially if the dry to wet ingredient ratio is a little off. Sometimes I swear it's the weather. I had to play with this recipe a bit more then I liked to get it to work. I added little sprinkles of water to get the dough to hold together a little better, as it wasn't going to do it on its own. And to shape the cookies, I didn't so much roll them out as press them into submission. The final product was great, very nice flavor and texture, I just wish the recipe was a little more on target... maybe next time I'll use more butter to see if that helps. I love Ina's recipes typically, I feel like I've let her down or something. ;

I tried this recipe not once, but twice. Thinking that I would get better results.. I find that the dough is too crumbly. Will not try again.. I don't even know how this recipe got 5 stars..

How well do these freeze? I'd like to make them for a get together and them give them away as a gift about a week later. (And I can't enter this question without giving it a rating, so I'll give it a 3 so I don't throw it off either high or low.
