The thing about shortbreads, I find that they are the most versatile because you can do so many things with them.

You know, like chocolate chip cookies are always going to have that chewy texture and then you add different add-ins, right?

Brownies are always going to have that brownie texture.

But something like a gingerbread or a shortbread are going to give you the most options because you can change the shape.

Spiced nuts.

Just like delicious spicy nuts.

Yeah, very simple, but they're really good.

We also have a couple of recipes for sweet and spicy nuts that you do with a little bit of egg white.

And you can make them on the sweeter side, on the spicier side.

I personally love them with rosemary.

And lemon zest.

And then they just get real, and salt, of course, good salt.

And they just, they're just like the perfect thing to just snack on.

And very satisfying in the crunch.

Hungry people.

I think that the only ones that really are the best on the day that they're made are the chocolate chips.

Chocolate chip cookies are just amazing on day one.

Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, however, last a lot longer.

I'm glad I got them on day two here, Melissa.

No, gluten-free is actually a different chemical.
