    Tartine Bakery Shortbread Cookies

    November 30, 2015 by burntapple 12 Comments

    It's time to get some holiday baking done. Cookies always seem to be one of those desserts that are a classic treat to give. They are always well received. At least by me. I'll NEVER turn a cookie away!

    Today is a special day because I'm featuring a recipe from one special blogger as part of our holiday Secret Recipe Club Holiday Treat reveal day!

    Today's treat comes courtesy of Stephanie from Dessert Before Dinner. She features a lot of amazing recipes but what I really want to know is how she gets her husband to do the cleaning around the house! He cleans her WHOLE house. Nice.

    These Tartine Bakery shortbread cookies are a classic holiday recipe. I love the added sugary topping to make them even more delicious and to add a crispy sugary crust. These are easy and simple to make with just a few ingredients.

      I always wonder why so many people are drawn to this recipe (I think you're the 3rd or 4th person to make it). Really glad you liked it, but I am curious what make everyone go toward a simple shortbread cookie

    About Me

    minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes! many recipes are gluten free, dairy free and FODMAP friendly too!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!

    Welcome home...to a REAL home! One that is busy, on the go and doesn't have time to sit all day in the kitchen! 

    So stop in, find a copycat restaurant favorite you've been craving or a tantalizing treat! Bite into a slice of fresh warm bread or find a quick weeknight meal.

    All of our recipes include adaptations for a variety of different dietary needs. Most of our recipes are gluten free and many are dairy free and FODMAP friendly too! All recipes are easily labeled for you.

    Stop in and stay awhile! And don't forget to chat and let me know what recipes you've been craving lately!
