A good and simple recipe for shortbread cookies for when you want some sweet pastry, but there are no eggs or milk in the fridge. And this is also a great way to find a use for pickle juice. If desired, you can complicate the recipe with chocolate chips, candied fruits, any other additives, or add nothing - then such cookies can be eaten even during Lent.
