Oh my goodness, the cookie jar has been empty for two days. Mom are you sick? It's my own doing; I have spoiled them and pay for it when I have other projects.
Are you like me? I get elbow deep in a project, look up, and it's 5:00 pm, and I haven't even thought about dinner let alone the cookie jar. Well, mercy does happen to show up. I opened up the cupboards trying to stir up a bit of creativity, and it must be quick. I had all those odds and ends ingredients left over from Christmas time. Not really enough to make a batch on its own. So being a clever farm girl, I started throwing everything in the bowl. That is why they're called "Remnant" all the leftovers. Don't we just surprise ourselves? And they were mix up, pressed in the pan, in and out of the oven in less than 45 min. Quick work. Another fast favorite you might like is Suzanne s Shortbread. Wow, Peanut Butter & chocolate Remnant cookies are out of the oven. I just tasted them; They do the sweet tooth quite nicely. Very buttery, not too sweet. Did anyone notice the vintage plate I photographed the cookies on? I only have two pieces of this pattern. A shallow coffee cup and a soup bowl. This pattern fills my memories of my Great Grandma Coffman's kitchen table on Boone's Ferry Road. It was such a delight to take them off my "nic nac" shelf and share with you. Check out my store I just listed the cutest "pitcher" great for summer bouquets.

My Husband Don said they tasted like fresh Lorna Doones.
Justin my youngest, by His confession, says he is the most spoiled. His preference in baked goods is, soft, old fashioned and not too sweet. Any Shortbread is a winner. When he helped himself to a freshly stamped cookie right off the hot pan, He said,
"Mom I'm in heaven!" 
Preparations
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare one 3-inch round cookie stamp and one 3 inch round cookie cutter (biscuit cutter) Un-greased baking pan or parchment paper lined. In a large bowl cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour, mix till dough melds together. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 15 minutes. Knead dough for 2 minutes, roll out dough onto lightly floured surface. 1/4 inch thick. Dust cookie stamp lightly with flour and press onto dough, press as many cookie stamps as rolled area provides. Cut with (biscuit cutter) over stamped impressions, lift with a spatula onto baking pan. Repeat until dough is used up Bake in hot oven (350 degrees) for 18-20 minutes o until edges are lightly brown. Cool 2 minutes and transfer to wire rack for cooling. If you desire: Apply sprinkles before baking. If you do not have a cookie stamp, be creative, the bottom of a patterned glass, criss-cross fork design.
