Thanks for your note. I love food that brings back childhood memories, there is such comfort in that.
There are certain recipes where reducing the butter would simply ruin the cookies and for these Viennese shortbreads that is the case. Best just not to count the calories and have them as a treat! Erika

They bring back great memories but I am not sure if I would wolf down as many as I used to now that I know how much butter is actually in them :)

So nice to hear from you, I too have missed our correspondence :) I am pleased to hear you are well and what wonderful news that you are expecting a baby. Let me know if you have certain food cravings and we will come up with some new recipes! Here all is fine, I have been very busy with a course I am taking and after the exams at the beginning of June, I will be back to my weekly blogging. Plus have a blog surprise coming up!!!

Pls keep in touch :)

Haha.. I should have put a “By the way I just baked a recipe..” instead of the “and”. haha!

Cheers, Farhan

Its been such a long time! Your cookies look so pretty!! How have you been??

I’m well.. Expecting our first little one in September and I just baked a recipe which I posted about close to 2 years ago. I was reading the old comments and chanced upon the very first comment that you made on my blog. I missed you!

Take care
Luv, farhan

Marco re-starts working for Gienow next week and I hope to begin volunteering at the Humane Society soon (my main goal is to photograph and write bios of the cats, dogs, bunnies, birds … that are there, for adoption). We had an amazing time in Uzès, for 2 weeks (I know … too short) and are now trying to get back into reality. Who knows … we might go back to Provence sooner than we thought!
Your mom has something from me to you, whenever you get down there again.
Say hi to Olivier! XOXO

They end up being overly sweet and you do not enjoy the cookie taste. Also like the vanilla pod idea and because of you I have been using this instead of extract in my recipes – much more intense taste without being overpowering. Thanks for the tip on the nozzle as well. M x

Thank you for this wonderful recipe – what a great idea. I am unfortunatley unable to eat blue cheese, but Olivier loves it and otherwise I will be sure to make your rosemary shortbreads, they sounds delicious. Hope to see you both this summer in Provence. xxx

Love to hear how yours turn out this weekend :)
