Yummy Homemade Shortbread Recipe

 I was given some really yummy homemade shortbread at Christmas.  I asked for the recipe and was told it was King Arthur Shortbread Cookies.  I am saving the link in order to make these in the future.  I may try dipping finger shapes or pie-points into melted chocolate and nut option for a fancy looking treat.  It would also be cute to try white chocolate and add holiday inspired sprinkles (see on Amazon) instead of nuts.  

Here are a few tips the baker who gave me the original cookies suggested as well:

• Use a good quality butter or it will not turn out correctly.
• During pricking with a fork step, go ahead and score the dough sections before cooking to mark where to cut it after first cooling step.  

If you try the recipe too, please let me know what you think of it or any special toppings you may have tried in the comments on this post.
