  1. This didn't turn out for me, I will have to try it again soon. I baked for about 15 min, but the cookies were still very soft, almost not done, even when they cooled they wouldn't harden. The taste was what I hoped for, a real buttery shortbread! Made for Spring PAC 09. thank you for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello, I am from a suburb of Toronto, Canada. I was a gourmet waitress for 20 years when I lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Gourmet service included tableside cooking of each course. For the last 10 years I have done little in cooking until I recently compiled a recipe book of top quality recipes from family and friends. It was such a wonderful trip down memory lane that it inspired me to get back in the kitchen. I have enjoyed the last 6 months of experimenting and pleasantly surprised at the level of confidence I feel in altering recipes. My family is thrilled my waistline is not! I would like to share some of the recipes that went into my book. More than anything else I like to bake. Being of English decent I have lots of sweet recipes to share.
