For the first time in maybe decades, I decided to make shortbread for New
Year's, even though, like so many, I won't have any visitors to share it
with.

Here's the strange part. The recipe (for children) said to turn the cookie
sheet upside down first, because, it said, it would be "easier" to get the
shortbread off that way, after baking. I don't know why it said that. I
didn't need a spatula and I probably didn't even need to use the fork.
(Maybe there was a little more butter in the batter than I realized?) At any
rate, any recipe that calls for a cookie sheet generally doesn't result in a
struggle! What gives?

I've been making shortbread for years. I've never done that. There's so much
butter in shortbread, they won't stick.
