Delightfully rich and buttery, these classic English Shortbread Cookies are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or as a sweet treat on their own.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. ½ cup granulated sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour. ¼ teaspoon salt.
Instructions: Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Put the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. Mix the flour and salt into the bowl until the dough comes together. Make sure the dough is spread out evenly in a 9-inch 23 cm round baking pan. Make holes in the dough with a fork all over to keep air bubbles from forming while it’s baking. After the oven is hot, bake the shortbread for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut the shortbread into wedges or squares while it is still warm. On a wire rack, let the cookies cool all the way down before serving.

This week is shortbread biscuits. Beyond Girl Scout cookies I don’t think I’ve ever had shortbread biscuits before so I can’t compare them to normal to know if I did things correctly. However, they were delicious and easy so I would make them again!
i love shortbread but these shortbread girl scout cookies are disappointing. i should have gone with the peanut butter ones instead

Made Kat Lieu’s Simple Shortbread with Miso cookies. I was excited because I basically had all the ingredients. I had red miso from a Mac&Cheese recipe. I did substitute lemon, lime and mandarin juice from the trees in the back instead of yuzu. The finishing sugar was a chocolate hazelnut since those were the nuts I had too. I really liked the taste and they are spot on not too sweet. Cookbook goes on the to buy list.
Melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies with rich buttery flavor, subtle sweetness and a touch of sea salt sophistication.

STATS:
RATINGS:
Butteriness: 3/5
Crunch: 5/5 (GF flour)
Flavour: 4/5
Packaging honesty: 3/5. Cookies are gorgeous but NOT golden. They did not melt-in-my-mouth; willing to overlook it because gluten-free flour doesn’t do that.
Longevity: 1/5. Ate all 9 cookies while writing this review
Tasty for what they are (gluten-free cookies) at a fair price. If I was reviewing gluten-free cookies exclusively, I’d have given it a 9/10.
As with all other shortbreads, these are disappointingly NOT “all-butter"— only 30% 😕







I made earl grey chocolate chunk shortbread!
It came out of the oven at about 3pm and I finally had a chance to have some with my cuppa at 7. It worked out very well and I’m delighted.
I followed a basic shortbread recipe and threw in the contents of sone earl grey tea bags, plus some cut up dairy milk.
Recipe below the cut
