I mentioned last week that I’m now offering coffee or tea service at home every afternoon (don’t you wish you could come over?), and I’m constantly on the lookout for a good saucer treat. Homemade shortbread fits the bill quite nicely. As the name implies, Every-Way Shortbread Fans can go in a lot of different flavor directions. I went down the suggested lemon-poppy seed topped with glaze route. They have a delicious, buttery Scottish shortbread base, flecked with lemon zest and poppy seeds. I love the crisp, sandy texture of these cookies, and baking them in a cake pan is an easy way to form and shape them nicely. Another elevenses winner here.

For the recipe, see Dorie’s Cookies by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll.

Great idea for coffee and snack everyday, making the best of the situation. I loved my orange version and could recommend that. I am eyeing some of her other versions too.
