Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Made these for my residents at the AL facility for National Shortbread day. They loved it. I’m not a huge fan of shortbread so felt it could have used something, like mini chocolate chips or sprinkles mixed in, but they loved them as they were. Super simple to make too!

The entire family enjoyed them. Super easy and quite tasty.

Was so nervous making this because I haven't baked or cooked anything new for over 7 months. I made this to go along with some chocolate fudge and it had a great response from Bug and family. my father in law told me to make some for us to have after our next Sunday dinner, so I'd say it was a success.

Ok these are good however I will be making the following changes next time: use salted butter and skip adding kosher salt. Also I will try baking for an additional 3 or 4 minutes. They come out soft and they do harden up as they cool but I'd like them even crunchier. Overall great recipe! NOTE FOR GLUTEN FREE PEOPLE: I have also tried these with 1:1 gluten free flour and did not like them. Personally would not recommend, but maybe it depends on the gf flour you use (I used Bob's Red Mill brand). Texture held up fine and they baked fine I just didn't love the overall flavor.

I was doubtful at first after I added all the flour, however, these ended up being simply amazing! I would definitely make these again!

Excellent recipe! This dough can be rolled and cut or cut according to the instructions in the recipe. I have added about 1/4 tsp of anise extract for an extra flavor boost! This recipe is also excellent to use as a base for strawberry shortcake.

I melted chocolate with some milk and peanut butter with some milk. I also did regular sugar with a little bit of cornstarch instead of confectioner sugar. It unfortunately had to stay cold so the chocolate didn't melt, but it was good.

It was good but the batch was really crumbly at fist, so I added a bit of milk. They turned out tasty but not really shortbread-y

The recipe only came out to be 13 cookies - I'll have to double it next time! With only 5 ingredients they are SO easy to make!

Perfect! I don't personally eat cookies, but all my friends said they were amazing! Perfect for beginners :)

These cookies are super good and super easy. I added about 1/3 cup of finely chopped /ground pecans. My only complaint is that I will definitely need another batch, right away because this one is going to go fast! Luckily, this recipe is easy enough to make in my sleep. Thank you for sharing!

So easy I make it while dinner is cooking. I added chopped pecans.

Used 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup french vanilla diesel protein powder. Such a great snack and high protein!

Chose circles over rectangles. These are delicious and super cute!

Not a bad cookie, but too buttery for my liking.

Way too hard

Simple, easy and delicately delicious. Will def make on the regular.

Not my favourite.

Quick and easy with satisfying results. Made per recipe using salted butter (no additional salt added) and baked for 11 minutes. Would definitely make again.

These are unbelievably easy to do and very quickly comes together. I did not add the salt even though my butter was unsalted and it turned out just fine. 10 minutes in the oven was perfect. They will not get brown on the top but they do get brown on the bottom. They are extremely flaky until they set up afterwards.
