Irish Shortbread Cookie Recipe + Cooking Gods Measuring Cup & Spoon Review

A few months back a friend of our blog sent us a package with some goodies from the town in Scotland where our ancestors live in many many years ago. It was so fun to open it up and go through it all and see a bit of our history (yes it really really made me want to tour Europe. One day!), one of the many goodies she sent us was shortbread cookies. With the first bite, I got hooked on these amazing little treats so with St. Patrick's day just around the bend we thought we would try our hand at making an Irish Shortbread Cookie. These are soooo good! Seriously I think they are my latest addiction. I just love them! 

Ingredients:

2 Cups Organic All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour or Corn Starch
2/3 Cups Raw Sugar
1 Cup Irish Grass Fed Butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 275F. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, sift together tapioca flour or cornstarch and flour add to the butter mixture. Press into an 8x8 inch pan. Prick all over with a fork. Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 250F and bake 1 to 11/2 hours. Remove from pan and cut into 21 rectangle cookies.

Cooking Gods Measuring Cups & Spoon Review

Recently we were asked to if we would be willing to try out a set of measuring cups and spoons [Link to them on Amazon HERE] since we are always in the kitchen trying new thing we said "Yes!". A few days later we got a package in the mail, we were in the middle of a remodel so we hadn't gotten a chance to try them out until yesterday.

I have to say I am very pleased with them! I like how they come with a D shaped clip to hold them together but you can remove them if needed. The little lip on the front is so helpful, they are easy to hold on to and the fractions are easy to read. They are FDA approved premium stainless steel, dishwasher safe and even have half-way capacity markings on the cups so you don't have to use them all while baking or cooking.
