Cookies crumble
in life’s winters;
Bake them again.
– Haiku by @krnx
Unquestionably, shortbread is coffee’s soulmate. It is but a cookie in its purest form.
Rich, delicate, petite shortbread cookies baked with the creamiest, most fragrant butter, promising chunks of nougat in every other bite … Addictive in their simplicity and melting on your tongue at every bite, the modest cookie never fails to surprise and charm.
Here is a variation of my all time favorite shortbread recipe. With a ton of Toblerone left over after baking my Mini Toberlone Muffins (and this despite helping myself to it while baking; you can imagine how much I had to begin with), it’s a simple recipe, easily adaptable.
