The buttery shortbread dough literally dissolves on your tongue the moment you bite in and that sweet tangy mango buttercream sandwiched in the middle is just the most perfect combination, these are so pretty on a plate and every single person who tries one cannot quite believe how something so simple can taste this good.

I love that these are "light as a feather". My husband loves fruity desserts that melt in his mouth. I can't wait to try these for him and the kiddos too I guess, LOL.
