Comments on: Shortbread Buttons http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/05/07/shortbread-buttons/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

You were quite the little girl. My interest in food didn't begin until 12 yrs old. My mom taught me how to make good coffee at about seven I believe. Again, Your artistry is so inspiring.

I personally really like it with a portion of it with rice flour but it's totally up to you! :D Hi Jesse-Thankyou so much, that’s very kind of you to say :)

The recipes are fantastic and your decorations and pictures are just absolutely wonderful! I will definitely read this blog for more recipes! Also, I just want to ask, concerning this recipe, is it okay to not use rice flour? I'm curious why you used rice flour, as the various shortbread recipes I've read before didn't have that. Thanks!

I saw it in the supermarket the other day so if you're inspired you don't need to make a special trip :) Hi Libby -Hehe thankyou. I think she wondered why I wanted it all but is used to my prop borrowing! :) Hehe that is so funny! She sounds very quirkily wonderful-just as long as she doesn't eat them in front of you right? Hi Taiko Tari-Oh really, so close to Christmas! Thanks! Hi Midge-Thankyou so much! :D I really wanted hem to so that's great to hear :) Hi Julia-Thankyou! Oh you've seen them in shops? Sounds like mums everywhere are getting well and truly spoilt! Hi Chris-Thankyou! I saw it in the supermarket the other day so if you’re inspired you don’t need to make a special trip :)

I have seen some shortbread button cookies before and similarly thought they'd be great to make. Mostly because they were so unusual looking. I'm glad you reminded me. My mum is also pretty crafty and would love these, but I never even put the idea together. My mum is getting a mocha roulade for Mother's Day this year. She's a coffee freak so hopefully a good choice. Well done on the cookies. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!! Lorraine, these are adorable.

Love the tape measure. So mother's Day here? Well my Mom is very quirky. She will be getting a giant jar of Nutella and an array of anchovies, a selection of different brands. She is an anchovy freak. Go figure. I can't go near them. Plus I will bake her an orange-pineapple pie, her favorite. Wonderful post and great theme for the pics. Love the tape measure.
