And for such a simple recipe there are so many variations out there. This is an excellent basic shortbread recipe and i have been making shortbread for many many yrs. Homemade shortbread cookies are way more tender and delicate than store bought with a far better real butter flavour. These cookies are called shortbread because the term short is used to describe cookies and pastries with a tender crumbly melt in your mouth texture. Buttery and tender shortbread cookies have a delicate crispness to them a light airiness that s detectable as the crumb crumbles with that first bite.
They just melt in the mouth. I like to add in a bit of cornstarch to help keep that sandy shortbread texture. A suggestion might be to chill slightly before trying to roll it. Another suggestion is to substitute 1 4 cup of rice flour or cornstarch for the all purpose flour. Sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar dip them in chocolate ice them or eat.
