We don't discriminate when it comes to cookies. Nutty, chocolatey, crumbly, chewy—we'll take them all. But some cookies just make more sense alongside a cup of coffee, and these are those cookies. We won't say we're Shaq, but this is how we dunk.

Shortbread Cookies
Kamut, a strain of wheat that is one of a growing number of alternative grains, makes these cookies extra tender and crumbly.
