    I want to eat some shortbread cookies, they are very addictive.
    Or perhaps make some. I got spoiled by importing some marks and spencer shortbread cookie packages on my trip in June. I will likely will need to bring
    some back next time I visit :)

    You have but to ask. Here's one I like. If you'd like more, let me know.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Shortbread Jammers
    Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Fruits
    Yield: 16 servings

    1/2 lb Unsalted butter; room temp
    3/4 c Granulated sugar
    1 ts Fine sea salt
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    2 c A-P flour
    1/3 c Rice flour (A-P flour may be
    - substituted)
    1 c Thick fruit jam, preserves
    - or marmalade

    Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

    Lightly butter a 8" X 8" baking dish. In the bowl of a
    standing mixer (or in a large bowl if using a hand
    mixer), beat the butter and sugar at medium speed for
    about 3 minutes. Add the salt and vanilla and continue
    to beat until well combined. Add the flours and continue
    to beat until the dough comes together.

    Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing
    the surface. Prick it with a fork in about 20 places.
    Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
    Slide a dull knife along the edges. Cool for 5 minutes.

    Carefully turn the slab of shortbread out onto a clean
    surface. With a knife, trim 1 inch from one of the
    sides. Crumble the trimmings into a bowl and cover with
    plastic wrap. Cut the rest of the shortbread into 16
    squares and allow to cool.

    Spread a thick layer of jam on each square, and then
    sprinkle with the crumbs. Layered between plastic wrap
    or wax paper in an airtight container, the cookies will
    keep for 3 to 4 days.

    If you don't want to make shortbread, just get it from Amazon. Walker's
    is good. You might want to consider getting a can of Royal Dansk Danish
    butter cookies. They will go down well.

    They have those in the stores around here, but making your own might be
    more fun.
