I call these rainy day shortbread bars because I came up with the recipe on a day that it was pouring down rain. Living in the Pacific Northwest that can be just about any day! When it rains I love to bake just to warm the house up. Thus I am always giving away baked goods. When I post pictures on Facebook of my latest creation my family calls dibs!
