Double-Dipped Shortbread Cookies image

My mom and her friend did a lot of cookie swaps together. They were always finding new recipes to share, including this one. There's something about a dipped cookie that makes it seem so special, so we usually save these for the holidays. -Ginger King, Big Bear Lake, California
