Our Traditional Shortbread


Last year I purchased an electric cookie press, due to the fact that the one I usually borrow from my Mom has very undesirable qualities, being made of aluminum in the 60s.  My success with the electric model was far better this year having learned the trick of speed.  I think it must have taken only 15 seconds to form an entire cookie sheet full of shortbread!  This year I used Mexican white vanilla, given to me by my friend Pat.  The intoxicating aroma of floral tones baked into the butter and sugar filled the house for the rest of the day.
