 Scottish Shortbread
Simple classic shortbread cookies with butter and sugar and flour.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation:

Thoroughly cream sugar and butter. Add 2 1/2 cups of the flour and mix thoroughly. Turn out onto a surface floured with remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Knead dough until it cracks on surface. Roll out 1/4-inch thick and cut out with cutters. Prick cookies with fork tines and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 275° for about 45 to 55 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Makes about 2 dozen shortbread cookies.

WOW!, Member cOokiiDough

This is definately one of the best recipes I have used. I love making shortbread, but hate having to go to the shops to get all the ingredients, and i don't have to with this one :) Thankyou!
