Last night we attended a function in Toronto for the Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC) - it was truly a family affair with Stephen preparing mini Ruebens (made with our very own beef, naturally) and serving Red Fife Wheat Shortbread cookies, while Greg, Peter and I mingled with the writers.

The shortbread cookies were popular, with several munchers requesting the recipe....
so here goes....Red Fife Wheat will be grown on property this summer (very historical if you didn't know...)

Red Fife Wheat Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients:
Butter 3 lbs
Sugar 1.5 lbs
Eggs 4 (of course we use our own fresh eggs)
Red Fife Flour 2.5 lbs
Hard Flour 2 lbs
Baking Powder 1 oz

Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, then add flours and baking powder. Blend together.
Roll out and use your cutest cookie cutters or cut in unimaginative squares.
Bake at 300 degrees F until the cookies are light brown.

Jazz them up with herbs - we served rosemary - add the herbs with the flours.

Enjoy! If you don't want to bake this low-cal treat, join us for Sunday Brunch, where they are featured on the dessert buffet.
