I've never tasted a more smoother, velvety shortbread cookie, but then again I'm biased! These are the ones I grew up with at every family Christmas, courtesy of my Grandma. Enjoy!

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I would add a little more butter next time.

I found that these cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
