Personal Notes:
My mother in law Phyllis passed this recipe down from her mother Edith Roth, or Nanny as David called her.
It is the easiest and best tasting shortbread I have tried. I like to make a double batch and freeze a portion for later. I have also dipped the finished cookies in melted dark chocolate to make them even more decadent.
