My husband enjoys these cookies so much that he usually can't wait until they're set to start eating them. If you'd like, try dipping them into melted semisweet chocolate and chopped pecans.

These are one of my husband's favorite cookies. The are definitely very yummy. Any ideas on keeping them round??? Mine ALWAYS go FLAT:(:(:( mrsmcc@empiremail.net

These are very good shortbread cookies. I refrigerated the dough before forming the finger logs, then refrigerated the finger logs before cooking and they still went flat when cooking. It may have something to do with the humidity on that day, it was quite humid. Took them to a picnic dinner with home made ice cream as the dessert and these cookies were a huge hit with the ice cream. Very flavorful. Hard to stop eating them!

This recipe is sooooo good; I dread giving them away as gifts because I want to eat them ALL:):):):) Thank you for the recipe; post more to Taste of Home, I bet you are a fantastic cook in other areas as well.

Made these for my family's cookie exchange this year...some dipped in almonds, some dipped in chocolate sprinkles...everyone LOVED them (even plain they are delicious)!

These are crazy easy, and way to fantastic to keep in the house, they must be given away, so I don't become as big as the house!

My only change is to refrigerate the dough for a bit, helps to form the logs.

I tried making the almond-tipped shortbread fingers, but unfortunately mine did not stay round like the picture, they flattened out and I was wondering what I need to do to keep them in their round shape.
