MK stands just shy of 6' tall and after winning the Scottish Highland games "Short" bread competition, she knew she had to share this family treat with the world! And so, Lanky Lassie's Shortbread "long legs, short bread" was born in 2011.

Prior to COVID-19 LLS was a hobby, a passion-project if you will. However, after COVID-19 cost her 13-year corporate hospitality career in 2020, MK turned to her family recipe to support her family. From her home kitchen to brick and mortar in downtown Dade City, FL, her irresistible shortbread has won hearts nationwide. "Sharing its comfort, tradition, and buttery taste warms my heart. It's the perfect gift for any occasion, shipped worldwide. Spread smiles with this delectable treat today!"
