Oh don't you know it's TREAT time!!!! That wonderful time of year when it's cold and snowy outside and it just feels good to bake!!! And eat of course!!!! LOL So glad you could hop along on this Sweet Journey with Gina K. Designs!!!
I made my recipe project a 5x5 page as I'm putting together a little recipe book for a gift. I probably should have decided where to punch the holes for the rings BEFORE I created it.......but oh well........I'll figure it out!!! LOL I made my Old Fashioned Shortbread.......it's just a tad different from traditional Shortbread in that I just have to add a touch of vanilla!! And you really need to make these when you have company because they are just soooo rich you can't eat many!!! I used Melanie's cuuuuute Have A Cookie stamp set and some of my favorite Basic Grey dp. The glass has Crystal Effects all over it but it's hard to catch that in the light. I'm writing out the recipe below in case it's too difficult to read here. Enjoy the Holiday Baking time and get some fabulous new recipes to try from this hop!!!!!Lee's Old Fashioned Shortbread
