When making shortbread one should never use this recipe:
1 Cup butter
2 C + 3T flour
1/2 C. sugar
1 egg
Yes, I know that shortbread does not have egg in it. Nevertheless, due to inattention, it found its way in. I don't think the cookies would have tasted any better without the egg though. They had a general lack of flavor which probably would have been remedied with a little salt and more sugar. Oh, well. Happy Boy loved them and gobbled about five of them down when I was distracted on the phone.

The first few times I made shortbread were very disappointing, due to what I can only figure must have been a misprint in the recipe I was using. I finally found a recipe online for brown sugar shortbread, and it was awesome. If I find it again I will let you know. :-)
