A Little Taste Of Scotland

Shortbread cookies have long been a favorite of mine.  I was buying cookies imported from Scotland at the local grocery store and they were good, but while doing an internet search, I came upon a New York based company baking cookies that are even better.

The company is Thistle Baking Company and the baker and president is Sandra Beach.  Sandra was born in Scotland and comes from a family of bakers who have served Britain's royalty for generations.  Using her grandmother's recipe and the finest natural ingredients, Sandra is producing some of the best hand-made cookies you will ever find.  They're not cheap, but one taste and you'll know they're worth every penny.

    I second that motion. Just great with a nice strong cup of coffee. VERY buttery. Was sorry to see the last one go...

    Good, Kate! You won't be disappointed. I sent these to each of my children (Laura shared with Erin) and got good reviews from all. My son, Jason, wrote "the aroma was exquisite, seconded only by the wonderful flavor." Can't get better than that.
