karen's shortbread


okay, so i didn't even come close to making these for christmas. but finally, i got around to trying karen's brown sugar shortbread recipe!

of course, they were super yummy. and easy, which is one major reason i like shortbread. i did customize some, by adding 1 tsp. of instant espresso powder (that is a MUST for my kitchen, it's great in coffee-flavored recipes) and about 3/4 c. chopped "leftover from the holidays" walnuts. then, i dipped them in some melted dark choc chips.

i guess you could say my sugar-deprivation stage is waning, too. thanks, karen!

Oh, dude. I'm thinking that Bubba's FCA group is going to be eating these on Thursday. Minus the espresso powder, of course. :-)

Ok, but you have to change your recipe card to say, "Karen's brown sugar shortbread cookies."
