Shortbread Cookies (Matcha + Chocolate + Strawberry)

Because it’s spring, cherry blossoms are blooming, avocados have been on point, naps have been doable, lady friends have been the best, lipstick choices have been nice and dark, daffodils are blooming, the clouds have been real Simpon-y, walks to dinner have been happening, late night hummus is what’s up, sprinkles on everything is real unnecessarily good, fries have been shared, cookies have been baked. So have a shortbread cookie in the morning instead of a…

Maple Shortbread Fries

I like a day ending with a churro, and so it’s just a fact that I like a dessert that can be dunked. These aren’t churros, but are salty and maple-y shortbread cut into fries that can be dunked at your leisure. They’re super tasty dunked in Nutella (but what isn’t?) but would also be tasty dipped into jam or blueberry coulis. But beware, you might want to eat quite a few of these. In…

Funfetti Shortbread

I’m living in the past. Since my computer died I’ve been listening to c.d.s on my old boom box. The skipping that keeps happening because of my scratch-y car floor c.d.s doesn’t make me miss Spotify a bit… So while I’m getting jiggy with the past, I figured why not go the funfetti route. I mean, nothing screams childhood more than rainbow sprinkles, right? AND since it’s getting close to St. Patrick’s day, rainbows should…

Mushroom Shortbread Cookies

Mushrooms are one of the cutest vegetables. They remind me of gnomes and fairy tails. So thanks, nature! Thanks for mushrooms, acorns, and mini pinecones. Nature’s just cute, you guys. So these cookies resemble a vegetable, but are just cookies. They’re late for the whole dressing-up-for-Halloween-thing. They taste like crumb-y good shortbread. I just might want to dunk them in jam like these guys. P.S. Mostly I ate two in a row, really quick, while these…

Lemon Rosemary Shortbread (revisited)

Sometimes I’m informed of rules I had no idea existed. Like how root beer should NEVER be served over ice. It’s disrespect. And once as a kid I tried to order rice and mashed potatoes as side dishes, but my grandma said that I couldn’t get two starches! Now I eat breadsticks AND pizza. Oh man. What am I doing with my life? But when it comes to rosemary there are no rules! It’s the perfect…

Forest Honey Shortbread Fries

These are the french fries of the tea partying world. The edges are crisp while the center is chewy version of shortbread I had no idea existed! Maybe I under-baked them a smidgen, and maybe I’m so glad I did! These are dreamy with forest honey, sea salt, and jam. Pretty much three of my faves. So, I think you should totally make these little fellas for your next lady party. Use your most favorite honey.…

Shortbread Elephants

These are so much more than elephants in silly outfits. They are elephants that taste like shortbread and are wearing Christmas colors. …well, my idea of a Christmas colors remix. I’m thinking these will be cozy tucked in a cookie box with these cookies and these ones and maybe some sort of lollipop, and maybe even fudge! What are you guys baking this year? Tell me everything. Shortbread Sugar Cookies {makes about 2 dozen cookies}…

Lemon Rosemary Shortbread

Rosemary in a cookie is equivalent to a cookie in a party dress. It’s just how it is. The shrubs outside my windows look like rosemary. One of them is growing wider and trying to block my front door. It might be happening right now. Maybe if it was rosemary I wouldn’t feel as though I’m being bullied by a shrub. When I baked the first cookie sheet’s worth of these guys, I put the…
