Scottish Short Bread Cookies

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

My grandpa and I used to make these cookies – same recipe. I just lurves them! Over the years I’ve continued to make them and experiment with flavors and fillings since they’re so stupid simple. I make small wafers (1/8″ thick) and sandwich ganache between two baked cookies when they’ve cooled. Or I’ll press dough in to a mini muffin tin and fill with a wee bit of thick jam before baking. You can also add citrus zest or extracts to the creamed butter and sugar. They’re so versatile… just use your imagination.

I should add that I didn’t decorate the cookies with anything, just served them plain.

I made these cookies yesterday and they were a huge hit. Hubby kept eating them until there was none left! Even our little girl, who’s 22mths old, was gobbling them down. I actually used 1 cup of plain flour and 1-1/2 cups of self raising flour, only because I didn’t have enough plain flour. It didn’t effect the cookies at all. Very yummy! Thanks for sharing this recipe
