Tip

The dough can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge. Just bring out of the fridge for about 10-15mins before slicing it.

I also find that cookies are best baked at baked a few days ahead of when you plan to serve them.

Shortbread will keep for about 3wks in an airtight container.

I have tried so many shortbread recipes and I have finally come up with this one. It’s a combination of about 3 different recipes and cooking times. I love it and I hope you do also!
