Thanks. That's similar to my recipe. I made my cookies on the weekend, and they're so good. I would still love to try other recipes so if you find anymore, feel free to send them along :-)
Here's the recipe -- not sure if it's really shortbread, but these cookies are delicious!!

OK, that was weird -- I finished typing a reply, and then it disappeared....
Anyway, my mom had an awesome recipe for shortbread cookies. If I can find it, I'll post it here for you. From what I can remember, it's a very healthy combination of butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla --deadly, but delicious!!
Oh great, now I've got a craving for cookies....!! ;-)
