Introducing Burks Traditional Scottish Shortbread!
Chef William "Whip" Burks remembers learning to cook aside his Scottish grandmother.  Those memories are behind his traditional and delicious Scottish shortbread cookies, made in small batches in the USA.
Peachy tried the Key Lime and is incredibly impressed with the brilliant consistency and accent of lime flavor which accentuates perfectly without overwhelming the shortbread.   A satisfying crisp of the shortbread is perfect to improve your tea or coffee hot or cold.   The Key Lime sings a song of summer or Florida any time of year.  The classy packaging is a knockout and we love the calligraphy of course.
The chewy goodness of Bourbon Pecan makes it difficult not to eat the entire box at once; they are this great.  The flavoring again is sure to ignite your tastebuds, lording over other packaged cookies.  But these are not simply cookies: they celebrate Whip's Scottish heritage and are based in his culinary memories with his grandmother's superlative family recipe.
Almond Amaretto excels not only in alliteration but also in elevated taste levels that are celebrated in this premium shortbread that puts the fancy in fancy food.  Again, the flavoring is exactly in perfect proportion to the cookie which is satisfying in its homage to shortbread sophistication.
