If you are one of my many eager customers trying our new brown sugar-spice shortbread for your Thanksgiving dessert, follow these hot ShortTips for a perfect Thanksgiving dessert:
- Remove shortbread from its protective plastic wrap to reveal its lovely golden brown petticoat tails. Try to hold off until Thanksgiving day if you possibly can. I dare ya :-)
- Place whole beautiful shortbread on a microwave-safe dessert platter. Resist the urge to break off just a tiny wedge to "make sure it tastes okay".
- Place plate (with shortbread assuming there's some left if you followed step 2 correctly) in the microwave and nuke it for about 15 seconds.
- Open microwave door and allow the cinnamon and nutmeggy aroma to wrap itself around your head and remind you of grandma's cooking. Note that it smells kind of like pumpkin pie. Never mind if your mouth says, "I'm so stuffed, I can't eat another bite." This is Thanksgiving, man! Don't kid yourself - you WILL eat another bite before drifting off for a nap in front of the tellie.
- Optional vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream may be enjoyed with the shortbread at the table. A hot steamy mug of tea, hot chocolate, mulled cider, or coffee complete the experience . Okay, friend, now you may have your tryptophen-induced nap.
