Lately my girls have been having a really hard time getting along. After their incident the other morning I have really been trying to get them to do things together. And of course that means I have to participate too or it just ends up in another fight. AND of course, since it's Christmas time, we HAVE to make treats! I found this recipe in a copy of LDS Living. Shortbread cookies are the cookies that come in the tins at Christmas time. They are an acquired taste, but I like them so we thought we'd give them a try in our kitchen and leave the preservative filled cookies in the tins at the store. :) The girls had fun helping me and I am glad to say that there was NO fighting! Yea for Mom!... And the cookies turned out great! Definitely a thumbs up from us!

Add more flour as needed so dough is not sticky.
