Genuine Shortbread Cookies

5.0(11)

When I was little, my mother bought Nabisco Shortbread cookies....nothing better in the world! I loved them with milk. Now, I love them with my coffee. They are fattening...what can I say, so I don't make these very often. When I do, I know I will need to stay on a steady diet for a week because I can't stop eating them. These also work if you want to make the square cookies a little bigger 3x3 and make ice cream sandwiches with them. That's what I'm talkin' about! However, they are wonderful alone.
