We are all obsessed with the walkers Shortbread cookie tin filled with a variety of shortbread cookies which is sold in Costco wholesale stores just before thanksgiving up until after Christmas. It usually goes out of stock before Christmas because it’s so good. It’s $19.99 but yet finishes so fast. We were walkers cookies addicts until when I decided to start making my own version of these cookies because they common they are easy to make and you can whip them up whenever you want. Which includes anytime of the year.
These skillet shortbread wedges are inspired by one of the Cookies in that amazing walkers shortbread cookie tin. If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a 9 or 10 in cake pan or a pie dish.
