VHJ - I love shortbread and am slightly addicted to coffee so whipped these up today and they are really lovely. Thanks faffa_70 - great combination of two of my favourites.

cookie - I made these the other day and used one third coffee and two thirds milo. They were lovely and had a mild coffee flavour.
