Coffee Shortbread

We have made several shortbread cookies in Tuesdays with Dorie. This is an easy cookie to make especially when made in a cake pan. Butter, sugar, flour are the main ingredients and then this one is flavored with coffee, lemon and cardamom. My husband is not a fan of cardamom but I used half the…

Mochaccino Muffins

Coffee, coffee, coffee. Buzz, buzz, buzz. They don’t call me CafeMom for nothing, I love me a good cup of Joe.
