Made this for Thanksgiving cookie tray, it was the first cookie to go, everybody raved about them.  They were really easy to make and baked up absolutely delicious.  This recipe will be added to my Christmas cookie list!

This recipe was amazing! I&#039;ve never made Shortbread Cookies before and was skeptical on how they would turn out.  Perfect Texture,  Consistency,  and Sweetness.  Huge hit with my family. I&#039;ll be making these often. Thanks ??

Need 4-1/2 cups of flour. Too buttery. Too crumbly. Followed recipe exactly. Or maybe even add 1/2 c cornstarch.

Just made this shortbread recipe and it is delicious. So fast and easy!! I used salted butter and added vanilla bean paste. I will definitely make these again.

I’ve made these before and I loved them, I wanna try making them again but with chocolate chips, would that be alright or would it ruin the cookie?

Can you use Monk Fruit instead of sugar in recipes or sugar substitute

Sunshyn1  Maybe she didn&#039;t read the note because it wasn&#039;t there. Mine doesn&#039;t show any note from the author, either.

I love these cookies.  Sometimes I  add lemon zest to the dough then glaze with a thin lemon glaze. 
I usually add two teaspoons of vanilla extract to the dough if I don&#039;t use lemon.
Give it a try.

Shortbread cookie recipes are always (that I’ve seen) this recipe meaning however much flour you use &gt; use  1/2 of that measurement of butter and 1/2 again as much sugar. So if you choose:
4 cups of flour (This is your next 2 ingreds measurements)
2cups of butter 
1 cup of sugar
(I use salted butter simply to give flavor otherwise they’re flat in flavor——-these are my husbands’ favorite cookie
