Ive been meaning to try these delicious looking shortbread cookies for weeks, but every time I think of making them, I get distracted and make something else.
So... Tonight I was determined to give these beauties a shot. They LOOK superb. And My Love assures me that they taste as good as they look... But since I, once again, have a stuffy nose, I'll have to take his word for it. 😠

despite a few mishaps these cookies turned out splendidly. My biggest problem was cutting the chilled log. Every time I tried it just crumbled to pieces. Intensely aggravating.
So I got creative and formed them by hand instead, which means they aren't as pretty as those from delisssh, but at least they're circular... Instead of crumbles.
I found on another site later a suggestion to press the log together very firmly to prevent crumbling. Sigh... Is this something everyone knows but me?! Wish I had stumbled upon this helpful advice earlier!

regardless, the cookies are gorgeous, and I do believe I'll be making a few more batches to give away as thank yous... Punkin Pie has entered her first walk-a-thon and I'm already amazed at the generous pledges pouring in. Thank you friends and family!!
Happy Presidents Day! Hope you got the day off!
