Savory Shortbread Squares
I got the idea for these from the December issue of Bon Appétit, which featured a recipe for Savory Parmesan Shortbread Rounds. With that in mind, I changed the proportions a little, and used parmesan, paprika, and a little garlic powder, and these delicious little shortbread crackers were born! I will definitely be experimenting with more variations on this recipe — these were super easy and really good.
