I made this today and they were really delicious! I made them in a 4″X14″ rectangular pan with a removable bottom and a 4″ round tart pan. I cut the ones in the rectangular pan into triangles and the one in the small tart pan into 4 wedges. They were just so tasty and pretty. I think the resting overnight does something important to the consistency. I will definitely make them again!

Yes, Bon- These will last at least a week. Maybe two. Maybe longer. They have never lasted that long around here. Happy baking!

These look absolutely delish…I’m adding them to the family Christmas cookie roster! One question, though – do you know how long they will last (I mean if they don’t get gobbled up)? Most shortbread cookies will last for a couple of weeks on the counter if they’re well wrapped…most times they’re even better after a couple of days. Do you know if these will hang in there that long? Do you think I could freeze them after baking? I just need to get a jump on our family cookie day and want to know how far in advance I can make them. Thanks very much!

Dreary rainy day…this is just what I need…dough is already prepped but I don’t think I can wait overnight. Am going to pop it in the oven early evening for a post-dinner treat. Thanks, Tim!!!

That’s so funny – those are some of my favorite ingredients too! Just add caramel to that. Have you ever made the Brown Sugar Cookies from Cooks Illustrated? Those are my favorite cookies of all time – i like to add a little Fleur de Sel on top of them after they come out of the oven. Sooooo good.

This is the recipe (and photos) that initially drew me to your blog, and I finally got around to making these last night. Wow- Dee-licious! The combination of salt and buttery sweetness reminds me of salted caramels! Will be a permanent part of my recipe box!

Just wanted to pop in and tell you I made these and loved them. They tasted just like—well, you know those blue tins of Danish butter cookies stores sell this time of year? I always loved the pretzel-shaped, sugar-topped ones best. These taste just like them.

Those look good. I am going to have to try using brown sugar in my next batch of short bread.

These look incredible! I have yet to make a shortbread cookie, and I’m almost positive these will be on my recipe list for my annual Christmas Eve party…Thanks!
