The wafers didn't turn out as crispy as I expected. I think I might have overbaked them. But the flavor is still good.

These shortbread wafers are a bit too rich for my taste. The gorgonzola is a bit overpowering. I think I'll try making them with a different cheese next time.

These wafers are so easy to make. I was able to whip up a batch in no time. They're also really versatile. I've served them with cheese, fruit, and even ice cream.
