I used to think of shortbread as a plain, somewhat disappointing (if not boring) cookie. Maddie and my dad were sold on its simplicity, but I was not convinced. This shortbread, however, completely re-imagines the crumbly dessert. In fact, these might be the most flavorful cookies to come out of my kitchen. Make these, and you'll have self-proclaimed shortbread haters begging for seconds. I promise.
