I made shortbread, lots of shortbread! For this large a quantity, I made quadruple batches and rolled out the dough in large sheet pans. After chilling the dough for about 30 minutes, I cut it into 1.5- by 2-inch rectangles to put on cookie sheets and bake.

Each guest would get a sample of 4 of my most successful shortbread recipes: traditional butter, almond, maple walnut, and Earl Grey.
