I love to cook and experiment with flavors in the kitchen, so I don’t choose a minimal-ingredient recipe because it’s short and likely quick. I choose it as a blank canvas, primed for whatever I want to throw at it. That’s how I feel about the shortbread cookie recipe I share this week in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon.

Along with the basic recipe, I share an array of ideas for how to vary the three primary ingredients and add other flavors. Many of my suggested add-ins complement one another, so I often divide a single batch of dough into three or four rectangles and flavor each one specifically. I encourage you to expand on my ideas even further to make these cookies your own.
