Scotch Shortbread Cookie Recipe
"Thank you for this Scotch Shortbread Cookie Recipe! It was exactly what I was looking for and they baked up GREAT."
Do you remember when Grandma would bake up a whole batch of these scotch shortbread treats? | This is the EASIEST of all the shortbread cookie recipes. They mix up really fast.
It is important to keep a little space between the cookie dough and the edge of your baking sheet, so that the cookie dough does not get to brown on the edges before they are fully set.
There is hardly any sodium in this recipe, so you can make a double batch and feel good about these cookies. |
They do bake for an hour, sometimes less, so plan accordingly. The hose will smell wonderful for hours after you bake these treats.
