These cookies are a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them a few days in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of shortbread cookies, but these ones are really good. They're not too dry or crumbly, and they have a nice flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies came out flat and hard. They didn't have the light and crumbly texture that I was expecting.

These cookies didn't turn out well for me. The dough was too dry and the cookies were crumbly. I think I may have overmixed the dough.
