Lost my fave traditional shortbread recipe so adapted this one; use 1 C. confectioner's sugar (cos I doubled it)instead of all white sugar to reduce the sweetness & get a more buttery flavor. Fructose instead of regular table sugar has a finer texture & blends in easily, but my grocery was out of it. Also, I always make these a few days ahead of serving, it seems to really let the butter come out on the palate. A tender, delicious cookie, I always make it for our local Hospice Tea fundraiser.
