Pistachio shortbread with cocao nibs and rose buttercream AND salt. I know. I’m not thrilled with this final recipe. It still needs work, but I kind of ran out of time. It was meant to be a goodbye cookie, and once Callie moved it took the motivation away to perfect it further. Also, she did love the final product. So I suppose it succeeded as it was meant to. 

That being said, this blog should have all the attempts and failures. At least most of them. Some of these (many of these) recipes won’t be successful for a while.  It’s time to really listen to Ira and decide it’s enough to know it’s a disappointment.
