Roll Around Shortbread made with chocolate candies. I mean honestly shortbread and candies all mixed together in a ball. Little balls of goodness. Does it get any better than that? Well maybe shortbread with Buttercream but that is a recipe for another day lol.
Found this recipe in a magazine, compliments of Gaylea several years ago. I mean honestly what is not to love. Shortbread, chocolate candy and icing sugar (confectionery sugar).
Roll Around Shortbreads
The perfect cookie, not too sweet but delicious. I love the fact that this one uses regular sugar adding a slight different texture. I use the candies but I am curious about using a cherry or some other similar fruit. Adding an illusion of healthy to a fun cookie.
