Sugared Shortbread

Loved these - delicate shortbread that almost melts in your mouth, with wonderful buttery flavor and super easy to throw together! I made a half recipe in a loaf pan, otherwise following instructions exactly. Of course these could be dressed up in many ways but other than perhaps browning the butter next time I will probably stick to the original. Use good butter, slice and sugar while warm and allow them to cool completely - they improve with a little time. Mine were ready in about 38 minutes, so keep an eye on these.
