Category Archives: Shortbread Cookie Recipes

A type of biscuit (cookie) which is traditionally made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts oatmeal (although plain white flour is common today). Shortbread is so named because of its crumbly texture. Shortbread is traditionally formed into one of three shapes: one large circle, which is divided into segments as soon as it is taken out of the oven; individual round biscuits (“Shortbread Rounds”); or a thick oblong slab cut into “fingers.” It is made from a stiff dough that retains its shape well during cooking. The biscuits are often patterned, usually with the prongs of a fork before cooking; sometimes they are then sprinkled with more sugar while cooling. Shortbread is also sometimes shaped in stars and other shapes for special occasions.
