The Obama family loves shortbread too!
Michelle Obama provided a recipe for her shortbread cookies, which the nonprofit DC Central Kitchen prepared to serve at inauguration festivities. According to a story on All Things Considered, they made 8,000 cookies.
Michelle Obama’s recipe for shortbread, which uses real butter just like all the cookies we make here at the Cooperstown Cookie Company, is posted on NPR web site.
If you want a jumpstart, you could start with our Classic Baseball Cookie Mix. 
Follow the directions and mix in some orange and lemon zest, perhaps some amaretto (almond liqueur) and top with your choice of chopped nuts (try pistachios!) or dried fruit.
Happy Inauguration Day!
Best,
Pati
