Meet the Cook: Scottish settlers first came to this area over 150 years ago. My mother herself was Scottish, and - as with most of my favorite recipes - she passed this on to me. I make a triple batch of it each year at Christmas, to enjoy and as gifts. When I entered Scottish Shortbread at our local fair, it won a red ribbon. As long as we have been married - and that's 54 years - my husband and I have lived on a farm. We are retired, and we have five grown children. -Rose Mabee, Selkirk, Manitoba

I've always baked treats for our office staff, to make the month-end 'crunch' more tolerable. These disappeared fast, and the staff all agreed -best ever. I dipped half the cookies in melted semi-sweet chocolate for those who cannot live without it ...
