Wonderful flavor and super easy recipe. I've made it about 3 or 4 times and it's always simply delcious. The two men in my life enjoy this. And I don't add any icing. It is delicious without it. Thanks, Martha, you are my hero!

Really delicious flavour... very subtle, but nice. I didn't bother with the icing.
I'm not sure if I went wrong somewhere, but the cookie consistency after baking was a little soft and chewy. It was really good, just I'm not sure if that's what is supposed to happen with shortbread cookies.

This is just what I was looking for! I added 1 Tablespoon of milk. I scored them into 16 pieces rather than 8 and spread them with melted chocolate mint pieces. *yummy

Please oh Please if Gale is listening could I also have your short bread recipe, OR if anyone else has it could you please send to nana920@comcast.net

Thank you

nana

Very tasty. This turns out great, but it's not very sweet, and reminiscent of dark chocolate. It is kind of "one note". (I do not favor the idea of icing, but I did not try it. Instead I sunk a chocolate chip in the center of each cut piece and that was good.) But next time I will add a drizzle of orange glaze on top of these. The glaze would add a bit of sweetness, complementary orange flavor, and also a bit of "wetness" to offset the sandy shortbread texture.

We need to send out a search party for GAIL. Now that we are in search of the great shortbread recipe. HELP!

WOW! I've never seen such a response! Gale - If you are out there PLEASE post your recipe here or else you've got a lot of emails to answer. :) I'd like your recipe also. The candy corn suggestion walkokd2 posted (just before me) had also come to mind when I saw the picture of these.

Me too! I saw this recipe and I want to attempt dipping the wedges into first, melted white chocolate, then some melted orange chocolate disks, and voila candy corn! But first I think I need Gale's recipe! Can I be included please? Thank you!

May I please have your recipe also, Gale!!?

I may know what Gale's talking about: 1 C flour, 1/2 C cornstarch, 1/2 C powdered sugar, 3/4 C softened butter. For chocolate shortbread, substitute 1/4 C cocoa for 1/4 C flour. Form a single round, cut into wedges

I would love to try Gale's shortbread too : )

Would you add one more to your list, Gale? I love shortbread, and I would love to try yours!! Thank you!! bratlet1@hotmail.com

I would be crazy not to ask for Gale's recipe too! Shortbread will compliment the other treats I bake for Christmas!

Gale, would like you recipe also.

I too would love to see Gale's recipe. I have lost my grandmother's recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!

Help! How do we get Gale's recipe as well??!!!

Hi Redkimi, I would love your grandmother's recipe if possible? I used to have my grandmother's from Whales, but must have lost it. I would love to have another one. Shortbread is a favorite in our family and I haven't found one like it since. My email is dlconroy@comcast.net.
Thanks

Hi all, did anyone get the recipe from Gale yet? Is she going to post it? I'd love to have it, too, please! My email address is agerocks4@yahoo.com Thaaaanks!! :-)

Gale I would also love to try your recipe. Please share, thanks Barb

Hi Gale! Could you PLEASE share your shortbread recipe with me? Shortbread is one of my favorite "go to" cookies. Makes great college care packages too. Thanks - a baker in Alaska.

Ok Gale, you have made quite an impression with everyohe so i guess I need to say, " Could you share the recipe with me too?" thanks! I'll be holding my breath too! :)

Hi, Gale I have my Grandmas recipe for shortbread from England and would love to compare it to yours. If you would be willing to share one more time. Thank You

OK, I want the recipe too! I LOVE a good chocolate cookie....can you share?

To print only the recipe either click on print at the top of the recipe and/or highlight the text, hit 'contro'l and' P' and choose print 'selection' on the print menu and only the higlighted portion will print. Hope this helps.

Dear Gale:
Have never made shortbread before and want to "do it right". I'd love your recipe, too. Thanks so much,

Gale, if it isn't too much to ask, could I also have the recipe? Thanks!

Wow! Yes, Gale could you please share your recipe?!! I wanted to say, that I printed some MSL recipes yesterday, and the MS Kmart ads are causing it to take both sides of the paper! So, I hand wrote this recipe. Some of the "repairs" to fix this problem, sound too complicated for me! Does anyone know an easy fix? Thanks

Gale please share recipe

Me too Gale! I'd love to try your recipe.

Gale, I would love that recipe as well!!! :-)

hummm...i am very curious about Gales shortbread recipe, can I have it too, Please?

Gale, may I please have your recipe as well? I'm looking for a great chocolate shortbread recipe. Thank you in advance. :-)

Gale, would you also send me your recipe? Thanks.

Gale, I would love to try your recipe also. The best shortbread I've ever made is Martha's basic shortbread, however, shortbread is one of my all time favourites and I'm always on the lookout for new and delicious ways of making it. Thanks!

Gale, I also would love to see your recipe...thanks bushels,
Isabel

Gale please share you reciipe with me, thank you, laura

I think that this lovely looking shortbread may need more butter to bind the flour and sugar.

Shortbread is dry and crumbly if you work it too much. Gentle handling of the dry ingredients into the butter is the way to go.

My recipe is a little different, and people hold their breath til Christmas because they know they are getting cookies as gifts.

Extremely dry and crumbly.
