| This shortbread is very good and easy to make - in a matter of less than an hour you can have 5 to 6 dozen cookies. If you're not partial to the coffee flavor, take out the 2 tbsp. of instant coffee. (For really "rough" workshops, I add Kahlua or Baileys to the recipe - try not to drink as you go)
