April Cookie of the Month: Grapefruit Shortbread
Bright, buttery, and a little unexpected — just like spring.
My grandmother used to prepare half a grapefruit for me when I would be at her house in the morning. The smell of it — sharp and floral and just slightly bitter — still wakes something up in me. That memory is exactly why I chose this cookie for April.
The bright tartness of grapefruit does something a lemon never quite manages: it surprises you, every single time.
April feels like the right month for a cookie you won't find at any bakery counter. Grapefruit shortbread brings together the richest, most melt-in-your-mouth butter base with a citrus note that cuts right through it. It's the kind of thing that makes people stop mid-bite and ask what they're eating.
