Delicious Shortbread Cookies

I think shortbread cookies might be my love language.  When we lived in Ohio we lived just down the street from a Panera and oftentimes my husband would stop by and grab me one of their shortbread cookies on his way home from work.  That there is a smart man.  The soft buttery texture is what gets me!  I have made a classic shortbread cookie before but I can’t believe how many varieties there are out there!  I’ve rounded up all of the ones I am dying to try today and I can’t wait to get started!  If you’re looking for the classic or a delicious twist on the classic shortbread cookie, you have come to the right place!

By the way… as a seasoned veteran of the cookie making game, I have definitely decided on a few favorite items that I use pretty much every time I pull out the ingredients to make cookies!  I’ve compiled a list below with links to each item … do you have any favorites that I missed?

1. Kitchenaid Mixer:  The one should come as no surprise!  And if you can get it in aqua, all the better! I can’t remember the last time I made cookies without it!
2. Measuring Cups & Spoons:  I love this set because of the odd cup and spoon sizes… 3/4 Cup?  Yes!  No more measuring 1/4 three times or worse, dirtying a 1/2 cup and a 1/4 cup!
3. Spatula: Of course you need a spatula to get those cookies off the cookie sheet!  I love this metal one with the slots to make it all that much easier to transfer.
4.  Silpat Baking Mat: No more need to “grease” a cookie sheet!  Just lay this baby down on your cookie sheet and away you go.  Nothing will stick to this.
5. Cookie Scoop:  What did I do before I had a cookie scoop?  The easy way to get uniform cookies!  I looooove my cookie scoop.  I wish I were over-exaggerating my love here but I’m not.
6. Cookie sheet:  I love these heavy duty Nordic Ware ones!  Mine have been perfectly “seasoned” over the years and they just seem to get better and better!
7. Rubber/Silicone Spatulas: How else will you lick the bowl clean?  This is a must-have tool to scrape down the sides of that bowl.

Happy Shortbread Cookie Making!
