I had trouble during the mixing with it being crumbly but patience gave it a chance to come together. I thought that adding the powered sugar on the top balanced out any bitterness.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/18/2011   I was really disappointed with this recipe. It turned into a big crumbly mess. I can't even lift a cookie from the plate and into my mouth without it falling apart. :(  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/27/2011   ANOTHER DISASTER when will we all learn NEVER to trust these recipes??!!! There have been more terrible ones than good over many years. You'd think they'd test these before publishing but obviopusly MS is more interested in VOLUME than quality. Stay away from them-just use them for design--that's what I do! Not even worth attempting-a complete waste of time, ingredients. Known to be bad.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/27/2011   Oh my goodness.....so bitter! This was horrible! I had to lay them in powdered sugar and sift some on top and they are still bitter. Definitely will NOT be making this again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/27/2009   What do you expect? It's shortbread. Did crumble during mixing/assembly or rolling/baking/cutting? Could just be an issue of technique and not recipe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/08/2008   I just tried the recipe and I can't beleive that something this aweful is on this website. It crumbles, its very dry, and not very tasty either.
