Coconut flavored refrigerator cookies. They’re light, crisp and delicious.
Butter Cookies
Empire Biscuits
This shortbread cookie is a traditional Scottish recipe. These are round cookies sandwiched with jam and topped off with a delicious icing and a cherry.
Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies II
Shortbread cookies with chocolate chips and pecans. If you don’t like pecans, you could add toasted coconut instead. Don’t be put off by the amount of butter, this recipe makes a very large batch.
Citrus Shortbread Cookies
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, one of the best cooks I know…and given that we’re from south Louisiana, that’s saying something. With the chopped up dried cranberries, these are as pretty as they are tasty.
Chocolate Press Cookies
This is one of two recipes that my family ALWAYS makes at Christmas. Chocolate spritz cookies with holiday sprinkles will add variety to any cookie tray with a minimum of effort.
Mango Shortbread Bars
Delicious! Serve with vanilla ice cream. Try this recipe with strawberries and rhubarb instead of mango, too.
Lavender Shortbread Cookies
A buttery lavender-flavored dough that can be made into round shapes using a biscuit cutter, or various shapes using cookie cutters. You can also roll the dough into a log, chill, and then slice and bake.
Emily’s Famous Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
These extra chocolaty cookies will cast a chocolate spell on you. Once you have eaten them, you will want nothing else. Serve with ice cream and coffee. If you can’t find Dutch process cocoa at your store, just add a pinch of baking soda to the dry ingredients. They are great with frosting too!
Grandma’s Old Fashioned Tea Cakes
A soft teacake that is best when one to two days old. You can change flavors by substituting almond or lemon extract for the vanilla. Add a few drop of food coloring to dress up the dough for special occasions.
Venice High School Cherry Butter Cookies
I made these cookies waaay back when in Home Economics class at Venice High School in L.A., California. With a shortbread texture blended with walnuts and cherries, these are certainly unforgettable. I usually bake them around Christmas, but they are super any time of year. They are particularly great with a hot cup of coffee, I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does!
Sugared Black Raspberry Tea Cookies
Petite, crunchy, black raspberry filled thumbprints, dipped in granulated sugar, and studded with miniature chocolate chips. These cookies freeze well.
Guyanese Lime Cookies
They’re a basic butter cookie, with a punch of lime flavor. My hubby is originally from Guyana, and these cookies remind him of home. I prefer to freshly grind the nutmeg from the whole-nut each time I use, but it’s not necessary.
