SAVORY SPICED SHORTBREAD BITES
These tasty little cocktail nibbles are irresistible with a nice glass of sherry by a winter fire, and everyone simply loves them. I wish I could remember where I found this! Possibly *Gourmet* magazine, years ago? No clue. They are more spicy than sweet, but the hint of sugar is just enough. I like to make lots of these to keep around for unexpected holiday guests...they keep a long time in a cookie tin.

Steps:
- Beat butter with sugar until fluffy. Blend all seasonings well with flour, and add all to the butter mixture. Mix with until just combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead about 8 times with hands, until dough comes together. Add ice water as needed if dough is too crumbly. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On a sheet of wax paper, roll each piece of dough into a 3/4"-thick log. Sprinkle lightly with a dusting of cayenne, or a mix of all the above spices if you like.
- Wrap each log in wax paper and freeze for about 20 minutes, until fairly firm.
- Slice about 1/2" thick and bake for 15 minutes at 350.
- (The logs can be frozen a week or more ahead of time, but you will want to let them soften a bit before slicing, to prevent crumbling.).
