My mom is 85 years young. Every Christmas she makes these cookies along with a few of her others. This shortbread recipe is delish! They melt in your mouth, and the recipe makes a large amount.
They keep well in the freezer if you don't eat them all first! Great with a cuppa tea or coffee.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and egg yolk together. Add dry ingredients, then mix all together well will become a slightly stiff dough.
With your hands, roll into 1 inch balls and flatten with a floured fork.
Bake till golden brown.

You are so lucky to still have your mom Donna, and I'm sure you treasure your time with her. It's also wonderful that she is still baking cookies for her loved ones, no doubt with the same love that she's always baked into them. The cookies sound so good. I'd love to have more of her special recipes if and when you have time.
Thanks Pookarina,
We really are lucky and she really still does go all out at Christmas for all her kids, 5 grandchildren and 6 Great Grandchildren! I will add a few more all the recipes make 12 doz. So we love it at Christmas. She even does both light and dark fruit cakes.
Makes a goodie bag for us all! Definitely lots of love!

I look forward to enjoying these shortbread cookies, have been looking for a good recipe for them for a long time. Thank your mom for sharing and you, too, of course.
I interpreted Icing sugar as confectioner's sugar... is that correct?
Icing sugar is the same as confectioner's sugar. Same sugar you use to make frosting.
Thanks Applesauce! I will tell Mom, she will be thrilled! They melt in your mouth.. Mm mm.
I wanted to add shortbread cookies to my Christmas cookies this year, and your Mom's recipe sounds like the one! Thank you for posting it, as I will use this year.
Icing sugar is confectioner's sugar! Sorry for any confusion!
