Shortbread Cookies

Posted on May 9, 2008 by Jennifer
My friends Justin and Jessie recently bought their first home. On Sunday, they had an open house for their family and a few of their friends, around 20 people. I was kinda stoked that they included us. Justin, who happens to be a co-worker also, had told me that Jessie planned to have a chocolate fountain. I offered to bring a dessert that would be tasty to dip in the fountain. Right away, I thought of shortbread cookies. So I browsed my cookbook collection and came up with Chocolaty Shortbread Cookies from Pillsbury The Complete Book of Baking; however, since they were to be dipped in the chocolate fountain, I omitted the cocoa and added some flour. They turned out quite tasty. Next time, I’ll have to try the chocolaty version.
