    So simple and so delicious looking. I can satisfy my sweet tooth in no time with this recipe. Thanks

    I've made shortbread with confectioners sugar, with granulated sugar, and have even added coco powder, but never with brown sugar – I will have to try this. I wonder if I could use coconut oil in place of the butter?

    I'm pretty sure you can sub coconut oil Karen. My vegan friends tell me it's what they sub for butter most times. And a good quality coconut oil would give a hint of coconut flavor which should be wonderful!!!
