Recipe video above. I’m a firm believer that shortbread cookies should be sinfully buttery and delectably tender. And these are, as great shortbread cookies should be, not that sweet, quite delicate and when you bite into them, they crumble softly, as demonstrated in the VIDEO! TRICK for clean cuts, no crumbles, is to slice halfway through baking.
