Janice,
I have to explain: I love shortbreads. The Walker's Scottish shortbreads are the only thing I cannot stay away from (So, I don't buy them anymore). As you have such a collection of shortbreads on your website, I have been going through your recipes.

These buckwheat cookies are very very good and very unusual. They are dark color (because of the buckwheat), with clear chocolate flavor from cocoa nibs but have no cocoa powder. It was fun to let people who ate them guess the ingredients. Nobody did by the way.

These cookies are pretty sophisticated though. Your usual American crowd that prefers a blob of refined sugar with bleached flower, no texture and god forbid any fruit, would not understand the point here. But I personally LOVED them!
Thank you!
