Mmmmm ... shortbread! This week Donna of Life’s Too Short Not to Eat Dessert First chose Dorie's Espresso Chocolate Shortbread Cookies. Having made these before (and loved them!) I decided to do the variation which was Oatmeal Spice Shortbread.Honestly these would probably be a more appropriate pick for Christmas because with all those spices the house smelt wonderful!
Last time I didn't have any ziploc bags and did have problems rolling out the sticky dough. This time though the bag worked a treat and I ended up with perfect little rectangles of shortbread with minimum fuss.
These are a little plain jane in the looks department but the flavour more than makes up for it. I will definitely be making these again and playing around with different flavour combinations.
Thanks for a great pick Donna! You can find the recipe on Life’s Too Short Not to Eat Dessert First under today's date.
Oatmeal spice cookies sound delicious! I used a freezer bag to roll out my dough - it worked OK.

What beautiful cookies! I like the sound of the oatmeal spice variation, too.
ReplyDeleteI thought this version was rather attractive, actually. I refer to this flavor as the blond shortbread. I baked both versions on the same day. Their baking scents melded together and created a sort of cappucino smell throughout the house. Not a bad thing to come home to! Thanks for baking with me this week.
