I'm not a big fan of shortbread cookies, but I have to say, these are pretty darn good! The texture is perfect and they're not too sweet. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made these cookies with my kids and we had a great time! They loved using the heart-shaped cookie cutters. The cookies turned out great and we had a lot of fun making them together.

These shortbread hearts were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough. Next time I'll be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.

I decided to try a different flavor combination this time and added some orange zest to the dough. It was a great idea! The orange flavor really brightened up the cookies and made them even more special.
