I will deliver one of my best shortbread cookie recipes today. Some of you e-mailed us asking what is a good shortbread cookie. In fact, it is very simple! These are wonderfully crisp and melting Breton shortbread cookies. A true sin of gluttony to eat in moderation because they are rich in butter! You can pair them with sorbet, and they will be eaten quickly. These irresistible cookies are very easy and simple.
