There are some things that are so good you want to share them, but there are others that are so good you just want to hoard them. These cookies are the latter. I don’t know when I first tried them, but I’ve been hooked for a long time. The good news is that I have easy access to them and now you can too!
They are made by my friend (and fellow blogger) Jess and her mom. It has been a long time coming, but they are finally taking orders! These shortbread cookies are buttery, flaky, light,with a generous piece of delightful milk chocolate. The cookie melts in your mouth and the chocolate has just the right amount of crunch to it (it’s not really crunch, but a nice texture contrast to the delicate cookie). Every cookie is made by hand and baked with love. You can tell how much care goes into making these; from cutting each piece of chocolate individually, making a huge amount of dough, forming each cookie and baking to the perfect light golden brown. The cookie is small, but mighty. It’s the best possible combination and impossible to eat just one.
Best Shortbread Cookies!
I’ve been lucky enough to cook with Jess and her mom (an amazing cook) on several occasions and we’ve covered the map with the different things we’ve made, but the recipe for these cookies has always been under lock and key. It’s probably better that way. I can’t imagine having them around without devouring them all.
*Many cookies have been harmed in order to write this post. I’ve been eating them forever and Jess even made me a huge tray to serve at my wedding. None made it out of the venue alive.
