8 December 2011   To get a good shortbread recipe, you’d need to travel all the way to Scotland.  McTavish Shortbread has done the work for you; they’ve taken an age old Scottish recipe handed down from generation to generation, added carefully selected ingredients like local creamery butter, pure cane sugar, and Madagascar Pure Bourbon Vanilla, and baked up the most mouthwatering, unique flavors this side of the Big Pond.  McTavish cookies are hand made in Portland, Oregon, and are as good as the ones served up by grandma.  Maybe even better, but don’t tell Grandma!

We’re offering you a heap load of choices of these fine cookies so you have options for every occasion.  We have tubs of bite-size Chocolate Espresso, Pecan Shortbread, Lemon Shortbread, and Red Velvet.  Tubs are great for school and office parties, or large gatherings.  They are also good to have as a cookie on reserve, when you need “just a bite ‘o sin”.  The Specialty Foods Collection also contains a number of dippers (yup, they’re dipped in luscious chocolate) including Chocolate Chip, Lemon, Gingerbread, Peppermint, Chocolate Espresso, and Traditional.  Christmas trees with dipped chocolate or sprinkles round out the list.  These single or double pack cookies make fabulous stocking stuffers or Secret Santa Gifts.

Gift Idea Number Eight:  Include a tub of McTavish in your office gifts this year.  It’d be great with some Cuties.  Or attach a Christmas Tree Shortbread to your holiday package to add festive flavor (no pun intended) to your wrapping!
