"Around this house, I'm known as the "COOKIE MONSTER" and this particular cookie monster has a special fondness for easy-fix shortbread cookie recipes. This is a TOH recipe credited to Pattie Prescott of Manchester, NH. -- AND so ends yet another admirably short recipe intro. It appears I may have finally learned the meaning of the word brevity, but don't count on it. :-) ENJOY!"

These are very good and so easy to make too. We did cook ours about 40 minutes but our pan was also 8 inches square instead of the size specified. Thanks for sharing!
