Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Nice but a little messy to eat. I cut mine a little thinner because I like it crunchy- got about 3 dozen after rerolling the dough.

    Delicious shortbread variation! Using a slightly smaller cutter, I got 14 cookies from 1/2 recipe. Baked on a light colored sheet pan, they needed a few extra minutes in the oven.

    I have made different shortbreads from Barefoot Contessa and this is by far the best one. The cookies are tender with that crumbly, melt in the mouth texture I love in shortbread and the spiced sugar topping is wonderful. I had more topping than I needed but I just keep it in a little jar for lots of uses (ie the next time for these guys). These will now be a "must make" Christmas cookie in this house.
