These Greek shortbread cookies are super easy to make and the gluten-free version has a nice buttery texture. My dad uses almond but today I used the rose extract that I bought while shopping with my friend Meher. It smells ah-mazing. Dusted with powdered sugar duster and graced with a clove, you definitely want to try making these at least once a year.
