These shortbread coins are comin’ in hot! Willa Allen, founder of Willa’s, began baking traditional shortbread for special events at the local country club. After a while, the demand was so high she had to open up her own company! For these savory and mildly spicy bites, she reached out to her friends at JM Thomason Company who provide spices to Nashville’s best restaurants. They collaborated to come up with a blend that captures the essence of Nashville’s famous “Hot Chicken” dish – so good! With base of sharp cheddar cheese and butter, each one of these is like a bite of the South.

TIP OF THE TONGUE

These are so cheesy and savory we love to serve them as a singular snack at cocktail hour… preferably with a martini. Better yet, keep it Southern with a julep.
