They look pretty good, right? Wrong!!! They are not normal cookies, they are Shortbread Cookies and should look like Shortbread Cookies...... Like these at Sugar & Spice.
Well, apparently you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover so I tried them anyway: They taste really good and have a nice crunch to them, although they do tend to crumble... Right when I took them out of the oven I dusted them with some icing sugar mixed with cinnamon, this is a nice extra touch. (Had I already mentioned that I am a great lover of cinnamon???)
I still have some dough in the fridge and will see tomorrow if that batch will still spread as much after more fridge-time...
I couldn't get these to work either. Apparently, the trick is to freeze the dough after it's been laid out on the baking sheets. Next time!
