Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread Cookies

EverydaySweetened

Shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit characterized by its high butter content and crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture. These sweetened cookies use a simple trio of ingredients – flour, butter, and sugar – baked slowly to achieve their signature pale golden color without leavening agents. While celebrated for their rich, buttery flavor, they contain notable saturated fat levels due to the 1:2:3 ratio of sugar to butter to flour in classic recipes.
