Real Deal Irish Shortbread Cookies image

Oh, how we loved the buttery taste of this Irish shortbread. It's different than most shortbread we've made. The shortbread is very delicate, crumbly, and full of butter flavor. But, it's not overly sweet. Perfect for someone that doesn't like a sweet dessert. If you do like things a little sweeter, though, it wouldn't hurt to...
