My son had to take a Scottish food to school for a project. These were a well liked food by the 4th grade class.

I added 1/4 tsp each of ground cloves and fresh-ground nutmeg (I like spices! :); it tasted good, but the cookies came out very dry and more crumbly than I think shortbread should be.

Kind of bland. I might try adding more sugar next time.

It tastes great. I just have a question, do we have to melt the butter before mixing it into the dough? I just had a hard time getting the dough to be smooth enough to be rolled out with a rolling pin without crumbling. Thanks!

This was sooo yummy, both my 6 year old and myself couldn't keep hands off. A couple of things... first, when I mixed it up, I thought it was a bad recipe because it was dry and crumbly for me, no way I could roll this out, but then I pressed it in a round pan and it baked up beautifully and it was so yum. Make sure and bake it long enough, it tastes better to me a bit crunchy even though I am a lover of soft cookies. This serving size is a little bit ridiculous. 16 slices of this and a mouse would enjoy one slice. ha ha. So, plan on eating 2 skinny slices at once! I will try whole wheat flour next time.

I first time I made these I was a bit disappointed but I was determined to try them again and change them a bit. Instead of cinnamon I added nutmeg and 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans. I also used self-rising flour (by accident) and liked how they turned out. I like nutmeg better than cinnamon and with the pecans it was all a perfect match.

Just tried this recipe and even for so-so bakers like me, it turned out great! Lovely, light and delicious. I did add just a sprinkle of suger over the top before baking.
