I'll be making cookie trays for our wedding and am using my 4 remaining weekends to test recipes. They must be delicious and easy, as well as able to hold to at least a few days storage.
Yesterday's sample for Test Cookie Weekend #1 was a winner! Perfect, pretty, yummy, and easy!

Gah! I just tried making these and it was an epic failure. The result tastes lovely but they're just way too crumbly! Any tips on making them more moist?

Vicky Ninja, the trick is definitely in the kneading. My first batch was disastrous as well, so don't fret! What I do is flour my counter space really well and then dump the crumbly dough onto it. I knead it like mad until it is a really smooth ball that holds together well.
Keep in mind that shortbreads are crumbly by definition, so a little of that is a good thing! You can even try freezing them once they've cooled. They'll keep for up to two months frozen, and I think they actually taste better that way! We pop ours in the microwave and eat them warm...
