Blue Cheese Currant Shortbread Rounds
I was checking Facebook the other day and found a shortbread baking contest over at sophistimom being sponsored by Challenge Butter. Those participating had to use the basic recipe Jaime, the sophistimom, has posted and then we had to tweak it and make it our own. I ended up winning the contest with this recipe and along with it, a “year’s supply” of butter. I received coupons for 8 pounds of butter. Even if I lived alone, I am not sure that would make it a year. I’d sure would like to know what algorithm companies use to determine what constitutes a year’s supply. Here is the original recipe: 1 cup butter 2/3 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt Mix and bake 300 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Here is what I did to change it:
