This is the time of year for baking and sending holiday gifts – and shortbread is the perfect cookie for gift-giving! Books are also great for gift-giving, so I want to share some news that hopefully you’ll be as excited to hear, as I am to tell you!

I’ve been obsessed with shortbread since I was a kid. Buttery, slightly sweet, with a nice crunch – they’re irresistible! This obsession has developed into my latest book, Shortbread: My Favorite Cookie

In addition to the classic Irish Butter Shortbread, I’ve included 22 recipes including:

• Chocolate Cherry Shortbread
• Oatmeal Currant Shortbread
• Sesame Miso Shortbread
• Raspberry Thumbprint Shortbread
• Mexican Hot-Chocolate Shortbread
• Bacon Date Shortbread…to name a few.

It’s an eclectic collection, isn’t it – but I guarantee that there’s something (if not many things) for everyone!

The book is now available in both Kindle and print versions! Because the print book is “print to order”, if you order today it unfortunately won’t be shipped until early January. But the Kindle version is available now! The print version will make a great winter blues pick-me-up, or Valentine’s Day present. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Happy Baking!
