If you like the salty and sweet mix, the number one request I get is for an oatmeal cookie that has salt sprinkled on the outside. yum. The other popular cookie I make is a sugar cut out cookie with cream cheese in it - it's almost like a cake.
Soxmom, that shortbread sounds interesting, do you mind sharing the recipe?

Hi Bets, there are many recipes out there like this but most have an
egg in them. thats what I think makes this cookie unique
I dont have a recipe this is in my head so bear with me.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup gran. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt
1 and 1/4 c. white flour
1/3 c. seedless rasp jam
Heat oven to 350 degrees. mix butter and sugar then add flour , salt,
and vanilla. This dough is difficult to combine so just work it till it
pretty much comes together. divide into thirds. Take a third of dough
and rolls into a 9 inch rope.(remember sometimes the ropes start to fall
apart just keep putting them back together)
put the rope on an ungreased cookie sheet. repeat with remaining to
thirds of dough. then take your thumb and make divets every inch or so
on the ropes . fill these with rasp. jam. bake for 12 to 15 min. just until
they are set and barely beginning to light ly brown on bottoms.
When cool drizzle with a little 10x sugar icing. l cup sugar and a little
water or milk to make a drizzling consistency. when icing is set cut into
diagonal cookie. about and inch. yummy......I make lots of cookies but
these remain my fave. good luck
