When I was little, I really, really loved oatmeal–I still do, actually–and I was especially partial to Quaker Instant Oatmeal. My favorite flavor was Maple and Brown Sugar. There is just something about that combination that is so delicious; the warm, caramel tones of brown sugar and the deep, heady sweetness of maple are a match made in heaven! Combined with the salty, buttery goodness of a crisp shortbread, they send these delicious little cookies into flavor overdrive!
For the complete Maple & Brown Sugar Shortbread recipe, visit Ciera Design, and see what beautiful font inspired these tasty treats (think flannel and pine trees)!
oooh! i love shortbread…this looks so good!
Hi Ruthy!! They were so good. I actually had to give the ziplock bag full of the leftovers to my sister-in-law because I couldn’t stop eating them!
Maple AND brown sugar? Be still, my beating heart! I’m recovering from a cold and currently can’t taste a thing, but this is the first thing I’ve seen in days that actually sounds great. Can’t wait to try.
Oh my goodness! I HAVE to bake these!
Debs, they are so good! Perfect for the Fall weather that’s on its way!
Where’s the recipe? I love maple and shortbread. The two together sounds yummy.
Hi Diane! I just tried the link and couldn’t get it to work either. I’ll keep checking.
Diane, the link for the maple and brown sugar shortbreads is working! Here you go: http://cieradesign.com/2012/11/28/the-font-feast-presents-maple-brown-sugar-shortbread/
It’s not working for me either. Sounds too good not to have the recipe.
Hmmm. Bummer. Maybe I’ll see if I can find the old pictures and repost the recipe here on Lulu the Baker. Stay tuned!
