Jennifer Silveira's family cherishes her grandma's special shortbread. But they also love a good broccoli salad. Here's how to make both:

WHIPPED SHORTBREAD

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients well. Whip for 10 minutes with electric mixer. Use a cookie press or drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes.

BROCCOLI SALAD

Ingredients

  • 2-3 bunches broccoli
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 pack real bacon bits
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar

Dressing:

  • 1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsps white vinegar

In one larger bowl, combine salad ingredients and in another bowl combine the dressing ingredients. To avoid it from becoming mushy, combine the dressing with the salad just before serving.
