“After all, mistakes happen, some failure is inevitable, and I am sure to embarrass myself more than a few times. But it doesn’t say anything about me as a person, or even as a baker. If anything, it’s good for me.”
Thank you! Reading it really made me feel better today… I’ll try to remember it.

Although you’re younger you seem to be a lot wiser than me.

hi Elissa, really enjoy ur blog..and the recipes!
i think i once did bake same texture cookies as yours called Coffee Butter Cookies. it tastes so good and everybody love it, especially my mom :D but the problem is the cookies came out flat, i can’t even saw the “petal” on those cookies..

should i just use shortening to maintain its shape?because butter does melt quicker than shortening..do u have the solution for me? :)

Thank you Elissa for responding to my question. Believe it or not, you CAN re-bake undercooked shortbread! I thought what the hell – might as well – either that or throw them out. I baked them at 300 degrees for at least 12 – 15 minutes, just as they started to turn a little brown, and they are delicious. Now they taste like they should have in the first place.

Dianne – I am not 100% sure about rebaking the undercooked cookies, but I’m inclined to say no. You could always try a few cookies and give it a shot. Let me know how they turn out!

Can I re-bake undercooked shortbread? I baked them exactly as the recipe said, but find they are not cooked enough. Can I re-bake them for a few minutes or will they be hard as a rock?

Corynn – I think you’re the second person who has said they had trouble piping the dough. When I made these cookies, I didn’t have any issues whatsoever. I wonder if you guys didn’t whip the butter as long as me? I really let it go, and the dough was very soft. But I’m so glad you liked the cookies and my blog :)

I just tried this today. They were really good! I love the texture and the taste of it. I did have trouble piping the dough, though. Not sure what made that part so difficult.

Btw, I really like your blog. I get excited every time I see a new post here. I enjoy looking at the pictures and reading your stories. It inspires me to start writing more.
