    My batch of shortbread cookies were really good! But, they stuck to the pan really bad. I sprayed the pan with cooking spray. Any advice?

      This recipe has so much butter in them they really should stick. It might be that your pan has been burnt at some point or is getting older. You can try cutting a circle of parchment paper or wax paper to put in the bottom of the pan then pat the dough on top of that. You also could try rubbing it with solid shortening or margarine although the papers would be better

    I have a Molly Yeh shortbread recipe. She adds funfetti sprinkles to the dough. Really makes a great visual presentation.
