Princess Shortbread Cookies
There are so many recipes out there for shortbread cookies, this one is simply my version. It was ‘created’ out of pure necessity!
I needed cookies the other day and I was out of eggs. Like for real out of eggs, I’m never out of eggs, this was a first for me! But I needed cookies in a bad way, so shortbread was the obvious answer.
Now I had discovered Princess Flavoring when perfecting my Gluten Free Princess Cookies. I wanted a different flavor other than vanilla or almond – both of which I love and are my go-to’s but I wanted to play around! Princess Flavoring reminds me so much of McDonald Land cookies I ate as a kid. There is a hint of lemon that freshens all the ingredients up.
If these aren’t being eaten warm right out of the oven I love to drizzle them with icing and add more sprinkles!
