Baking Up a Storm




I made 15 batches of Scottish Shortbread for my husband's work. It is our Christmas tradition, and so nice when everyone starts asking, "Is the shortbread coming this year?" Last year we had a family tragedy and the shortbread still showed up. Someone said "oh, I was afraid to ask if we were getting some this year." That makes me laugh!

It takes quite a bit of time to shop, mix, bake, and wrap. A friend called me 3 times because we are decorating our church together for Christmas eve. Every time she called I said "Still mixing!" So I used 6 lbs of butter and 4 lbs. of sugar...so what, its Christmas!
