Willa’s shortbreads have become a Mouth HQ addiction, so when they sent us a sample of a new flavor, we wondered if it could possibly live up to the original. Turns out the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Each of these quarter-sized coins has just a touch of local Middle Tennessee blackberry jam. The rich butter base of these cookies is sweetened with just a kiss of floral-jammy sweetness, a taste of the rolling hills of Tennessee. And, as Willa’s points out, the fruit in her area changes seasonally, so the cookies also change ever-so-subtly.

The only problem with the little unassuming cookies? They’re bite-sized. So we can (and do) pop countless coins into our Mouths without realizing we’ve nearly finished half the box.

Guess we should say these shortbreads are berry addicting.

Tip of the Tongue:

Our favorite way to end the day? A cup of herbal tea with several coins stacked on the saucer. We also like them in a little dish alongside a glass of Tennessee whiskey.
