I was going to post my last watercolor attempts… but the duck is still scaring me…….. and she is up next, so I am procrastinating….
So I decided another recipe was in order…. this time something sweet – but not too sweet…
It’s also super quick and easy to make…. I like to mix up batches of the dry ingredients on one day, then pop them in the pantry. That way, on baking day I can just pull out a zippy bag and add it to the melted butter and vanilla… !
Here it is ready to serve…

This is a very different shortbread recipe. I might “make do” and try it with what I have on hand. Thank you, Joy.
Those look delicious Joy, thank you for the recipe!
Yum! I love shortbread. When I was a kid I hated it because I couldn’t figure out why anybody would want to eat flour and icing sugar. I’m glad my tastes have changed!!
