Ingredients
- bunNonstick cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
- 2 large eggs

When cool, use the foil to lift the shortbread from the skillet; remove the foil before serving.

These are so good and could not be simpler. My 6 year old granddaughter loves to help make them and my son in law steals them. I have started doing double batches so he can take more home.

This is delicious! I took the advice in the reviews and heated up the middle of the skillet on the stove burner before pouring the batter in and mine came out perfectly with just the right amount of crust. I love almond extract so I added 1½ tsp. and it was just right for me. It had a brownie-like texture and is just a tiny bit chewy. Absolute perfection! Everyone loved it and I will make again and again. Great take-along dish.
