I'm going to try my hand at some shortbread I think and was wondering if anyone had their favorite recipes to post?

I have a couple here, but haven't tried either.....

One of my favorites, from allrecipes.com:

Shortbread Cookies
Makes about 24-36, depending on size. If you use a cookie press, you'll get a lot more.

2 cups butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour


1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2.Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in vanilla; add flour and mix well.
3.Put through cookie press and form cookies onto baking sheets. Bake 10 - 12 minutes.

Note: Feel free to substitute orange or lemon extract for the vanilla. And do use butter for the best flavor.

I just found a recipe for short bread cookies made with Truvia instead of sugar (the hubby to be is diabetic). I have not tried to make it yet, but PM me if you want it and i will gladly type it up for you
