Aunt Georgia's Shortbread Cookies

---

Growing up these were my very favorite cookies. my aunt georgia would make dozens of these during the holidays, along with many other of her scrumptious desert specialties. i was fortunate that she shared her recipes with me before she passed on. now i make the goodies and these are still a favorite, especially with my mom and sister. she only used land o' lakes butter and i've found that if i use any other brand they just don't taste like aunt georgia's. i hope you enjoy them as much as i do!!
