These shortbread cookies aren't your traditional type. They have the characteristics of vintage lace, airy, sweet and delicate. They're crunchier than other shortbread recipes because of the graham and tapioca flours, and then there are the bits that stick to your teeth, almost like little pieces of toffee. I have especially liked them crushed atop thin slices of juicy peaches from allred's, or alone with a warm cup of peppermint tea when the evenings are chilly.
