Holiday Shortbread Cookies
This is a very thick dough, to show you just how thick...
My lovely assistant Earl says "hey, there's nothing to lick off the beater! 'Sup wit dat???"
Notes: These are very good, not overly sweet. I suggest making the balls smaller than you think they should be, flatten it out with your fingers a bit and then the cookie plate. I did dip the plate in flour but the dough did stick to it most of the time, I just carefully peeled the cookie off and put it back on the cookie sheet. Next time I'm going to try dipping it in powdered sugar. This is a nice shortbread recipe!

I added a chocolate chip to the center of each petal of the clover.
