1 tsp powdered sugar, unsifted
1 cup all-purpose flour, unsifted
1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Preheat oven to 325° Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl mixer, cream butter until it is light.
Cream in powdered sugar, salt and pepper.
Work flour into the mixture. Add chopped herbs, Parmesan cheese and lemon zest (if using). Then, transfer the dough onto an un-floured board and knead until nice and smooth.
Spray your favorite Emerson Creek Shortbread Pan lightly with non-stick vegetable oil spray.
Firmly press the dough into the Shortbread Pan. Then, prick the entire surface with a fork.
Place pan in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
Allow the shortbread to cool for 10 minutes. Then, loosen the edges with a knife and flip the pan onto a wooden cutting board. If the shortbread is stuck, tap one edge of the pan until it comes out.
Cut the savory shortbread into pieces while it is still warm. Enjoy!

I did make the pumpkin spice shortbread and it was great. Something a little fancier for a change.
This recipe looks super and I will probably make it this afternoon for a party tomorrow.
Thanks so much for adding these recipes for my collection.
By the way, I do have EVERY mold that you have. Are there any ideas for adding something else?
Thanks, Elaine
