Oooooooh!! I DID MAKE THESE COOKIES TODAY, AND THEY ARE SOOOOOOOO GOOD! NOT SWEET, THEY MELT IN YOUR MOUTH ! I sprinkled them with 10x sugar after I put them in my container. I will definitely be making a lot of these for gifts, too! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

I added a whole pecan piece instead of sprinkles and they were delicious. Definitely use a scale to measure ingredients and I chilled my dough.

My Grandmother called those Melting Moments. She would put a little frosting on them too. So good!

Just can’t get enough of these cookies! My hubby loves them. Again, your bloopers are too funny❤❤👩‍🍳🍪

[@brendahedin1927]

After 3 total fails in my Christmas baking, I had decided to buy cookies. I couldn’t find the ones I wanted. After almost trying a recipe that required refrigeration, I decided to try this one. I’m in Utah, but from Nova Scotia & my sister there told me of a recipe given to her by our aunt in Ontario that included mini-chocolate chips. I’ve added those to some. They should be good. This recipe was a success, thanks.

[@michaelvelotti3936]

As much as I like to cook and bake, this is the recipe that I've been doing a lot of trial and error. When I found this video and watched the entire tutorial, it doesn't spread too much, which is a big plus. The recipe that I currently have bakes at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, and uses 1/2 cup granulated sugar. I happen to notice that my recipe causes to crumble too much and looks kind of "caramelized" (I know, pretty scary! 😱) and baked too long. What I will do is take your recipe, make a test batch, and see if it does come out the way I wanted to be in my kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and I can't wait to try it out!

[@carolyndaughton3373]

These cookies look so perfect! I love making shortbread cookies and typically use granulated sugar so I'm excited to try your version. I also typically dock my shortbread cookies, but I love the fork idea a lot. It allows the fun sprinkles to collect in a beautiful way. Thank you for sharing. I'm happy I found your channel.

What do you mean by dock?

[@carolyndaughton3373]

@@MarinaMiniatures Dock is a pastry term but it's basically just pricking each cookie with a toothpick or fork. Maybe it's an old school term that's not used much today. Chef John of "Food Wishes" has a recipe for shortbread and he uses the term "dock" as well. I love the way you made yours because it lets you capture the little sprinkles. Thank you.

I've never had one like it nor have I been able to figure out how to duplicate it. The reason it's different is that it's silky smooth not custardy like traditional chess pies. It almost reminds me of the original German Chocolate frosting recipe minus the pecans and coconut with a toasted brown top when donet. I'd be really thrilled to hear any suggestions about getting that texture and still making it sliceable as a pie.

Add almond flour until you get the required consistency. I found you need slightly less than all purpose flour.
