Has anyone used a shortbread mold? I've tried making shortbread cookies where the recipe called for rolling the dough in a long roll and refrigerating it and then slicing it. Didn't work so hot! My cookies, (if you can call them that) were too dry and crumbly Embarassed Last week my sister-in-law surprised me with a really neat mold that she found at a thrift store. It is a stoneware mold. The back is stamped with "Brown Bag Cookie" so I looked it up online and printed a few recipes. Haven't had time to try it yet so thought I'd ask around for any helpful hints Very Happy
Thanks,
Deanna

Deanna I've used molds for shortbread. I think you may have needed slightly more butter in your recipe to make it more pliable. Either than or you pehaps didn't knead it for long enough before putting it into the 'fridge. Hope you find a recipe that's better for you when you use the mold your SIL gave you. Very Happy
