After last week’s diversion of peanut butter and chocolate, Tuesdays With Dorie continues to celebrate fall flavors with Not-Just-For-Thanksgiving Cranberry Shortbread. Cranberry jam and shortbread are two totally delicious foods that I never would have thought to put together – excellent idea, Dorie! The texture of the shortbread layers reminded me more of a big, soft sugar cookie than a typical shortbread. Whatever the texture, you can’t complain about jam sandwiched between two layers of buttery goodness. I also like the jam layer so much that I’m thinking of making another batch of it. I had a feeling this recipe would be a winner and went ahead and made the full recipe, and the two of us are doing a prodigious job of getting through it. This is the type of treat that makes you want to have a light dinner to ensure room for dessert.
We rated this recipe a 9 for Deliciousness and I gave it a 3.5 for Effort, for an EDR of 2.57. Many thanks to Jessica of A Singleton in the Kitchen for choosing this amazing dessert; you can find the recipe here on her site. Jessica is a talented writer, and does an excellent job of sharing her family and food memories – I always look forward to the stories that accompany her posts. I hope the other TWD bakers enjoyed this recipe as much as I did.

Oh, yours looks just perfect! Wasn't this good...a big hit here, top five for me for sure!
Pretty cake Margot! I loved this one too, and you're definitely right about the texture. I went full size also, but wound up giving most of mine away - a move I definitely came to regret :)
This one was definitely well worth the (little) effort - yours is lovely!
Nice job! I could go for more, this was so good!
Oh, Yeah, this was really good. And so versatile for so many fillings.
Yours looks so lovely.
This looks so good. I know I would have liked this, but I think I'd be the only one eating it, so I skipped.
Your cake looks delicious. In fact, looking at your pictures makes me wish I could have a slice right now. I'm so glad you enjoyed this cake. Thanks for baking along with me!
Beautiful cake, Margot! This one was a huge hit here.
