This simple three-ingredient recipe makes wonderfully rich, tender cookies. Serve them with fresh berries of the season for a nice, light dessert. You'll get miles of smiles when you provide these for afternoon tea or at a bridal shower. —Marlene Hellickson Big Bear City, California

Great recipe. I always add a dash of almond extract for a bit of extra flavor. But I've been making these for years.

Been making for years. In my recipe I use 1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar in place of regular sugar.

These could not be any easier to make or delicious to eat. This was my first time making shortbreads and they could not have been any better. Best ones I've ever had!
