Shortbread cookies are delicious cookies from Scotland, made from fresh butter. They are very crumbly and airy, as we whip the butter to make them puff.

This is a variation of a cookie recipe I found in a homemade cookie book published by Boutique.Be sure to completely chill the dough until hardened (at least 1 hour, if not for longer) for a foolproof dough. You can add some dried fruits (apricots, orange peel, maraschino cherries, etc.) in Step 4. You can skip Step 6 if you don't feel like coating the cookies in sugar. Recipe by INCE

Easy Shortbread Cookies
I revised a shortbread recipe, which I used to bake in a café in Canada. It's such an easy ratio of ingredients, so once you bake these cookies, you can make them without looking at the recipe. Feel free to adjust the amount of the ingredients as well. They can be made in 20 minutes!Once you have flipped the baking pan, keep an eye on the cookies so that they don't burn. Take the baking pan out of the oven when the cookies are light brown on the edges, and cook through with the residual heat. I recommend using butter for this recipe since they result in a richer and tastier cookie. Recipe by LazyHata

Crispy & Crunchy Chocolate Shortbread
I added granulated sugar to chocolate shortbread to make the texture more fun.Keep the butter refrigerated until right before you're ready to make the shortbread. 1.5 cm slices are thick, but when baked, they come out just the right thickness. Recipe by Akito mama
