I made your delicious shortbread last weekend and it is nearly all gone. My son took it to work and his boss and another co-worker wanted the recipe. I put a whole almond on top of each cookie and sprinkled raw sugar on top before baking them. As they baked the raw sugar carmelized on top and made each piece glisten like snow. This is the best shortbread I've ever tried. My son-in-law who is scottish said they were better than his mother's recipe. THAT is a compliment. Merry Xmas everyone. Laval, Quebec Canada
What a great compliment - thanks for passing it along! And good idea, with the almond and raw sugar... PJH
