LOVE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Is there a recipe for “whipped” shortbread cookies?
Hi Beverly, Unfortunately we don’t have a recipe for “whipped” shortbread cookies. It’s a great suggestion. We’ll definitely pass it on to The Kitchen.
Thanks so for all the delicious recipes!!! Are these shortbread cookies chewy?
Hi Connie, The Shortbread Cookies are crunchy, not chewy. Happy baking!
It says add chopped pecans twice. The recipe only includes 1/4 cup total. Is it a typo are are you supposed to add 1/8 cup twice? I don’t get it.
Great catch Judy! We have the recipe fixed. You only add chopped pecans once. Happy Baking!
I want carrot cake recipe , please. Thank you.
