Great Grandma Florence’s Memorable Shortbread

Shortbread is one of those staple recipes that have very few ingredients, but does not always make for an easy recipe. However I think Great Grandma might just have found a way to make it successful every time.

This recipe is not just memorable, but both easy and simple. Not to mention delicious. I suspect it is the addition of rice flour and not just the use of all purpose flour that helps make for the delicate crumb and consistency.

A pull apart gingerbread man is great for little hands. This handsome dude is much less fussy than tiny details and especially ideal for younger kids who need a parent’s assistance. But he’s equally great for families looking for a cool weather, single household yummy project! So much quicker and simpler to make one big ‘cookie’ than many smaller ones.
