I have been overwhelmed in the past week or so to the response to my Reese's Peanut Butter Bars. God bless Pinterest. As a thank you to everyone who's expressed their delight at the peanut butter/chocolatey goodness of those treats, I bring you another equally decadent dessert. These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies are infused with… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Shortbread Tarts
These delectable morsels are perfect for just about any occasion. Elegant enough for a bridal or baby shower and bite sized for an appetizer heavy party. You can make large quantities of them easily and highlight any of the best fruits of whatever season you're in. I went with raspberries because I don't think there's… Continue reading Shortbread Tarts
Shortbread Three Ways
I love versatile recipes. This one I got from my cousin's blog - care of the Barefoot Contessa. Today, I made it into three different cookies. Part of it I turned into Emilys. Others into Raspberry Linzers and then just cut out some pretty leaf shapes and did a little chocolate and roasted peanut action… Continue reading Shortbread Three Ways

Rosmerta’s Butterbeer
Yes, it's true. I love Harry Potter. The movies are entertaining, but I really love the books. I re-read them about once a year. Yes, the whole series. While trying to figure out my tickets for the upcoming (November 18th!) premiere of the first installment of the final book-turned-movie, I stumbled upon a fan website… Continue reading Rosmerta’s Butterbeer
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
My favorite thing about these quick little shortbread bites is that they really do simply melt in your mouth. My second favorite thing is that there's only 4 ingredients - all of which you probably have in your cupboard already. Melt In Your Mouth Shortbread 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup… Continue reading Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
Lemon Bars
The key to great lemon bars is to use lots of fresh lemon zest and juice. The bright tart lemon is a perfect complement to the rich buttery crust. This recipe will fit into a 9x13 casserole dish just fine, but you'll end up with a thinner bar. I like my lemon bars to have… Continue reading Lemon Bars
