Purely for the sake of art
I made the shortbread cookies again. This time, I didn’t have the distractions of the post-school/supper-making frenzy, and they turned out perfectly. (Although I still blame my oven for that last attempt.) I also did not slather them with chocolate, since they clearly are meant to be enjoyed in all their buttery simplicity:
Here’s my attempt at a little food-styling… 
Okay. Back to work. I’m sure I was supposed to be doing something besides baking and taking photographs.

Carolyn, these look perfect! I’m now very hungry!
Glad your cookies turned out. Thanks for posting the results of the second batch.

Thanks Charmian. They are so easy, I’m a little embarrassed that the first batch didn’t turn out as nicely.
I’m definitely keeping this recipe. These would be perfect for a simple snack with tea or coffee when we have guests.
