This was good. My first time making shortbread. I used margarine as I didn't have butter. I also added about a tsp of vanilla. They came out pretty good. Seemed a little thick in a 15 X 11 jelly roll pan. The middle didn't get as crispy as i'd have liked but the edges did. May try the cookie scoop and pressing them out with the bottom of a cup next time. I added colorful sprinkles before I baked them, and drizzled with a little melted dark chocolate after they cooled. It made them even better!

This is a great recipe, possibly the best shortbread since it´s not just delicious but also very easy to make. I only had two sticks of butter, so I halved the recipe and rolled the dough into little balls. They baked in about 11 minutes. They are fantastic by themselves, but I also brushed some with lemon glaze. Thank you for the recipe.

These shortbreads were definitely 'heavenly' but i do think finished cookie was a little tasteless and a bit crumbly. however, the cute yellow icing designs on the cookies lifted everyone's spirit and appetite!

I have made this recipe twice now. The first time, my husband told me to go back in the kitchen and keep making them. HA! I did add 1/4 cup sugar to the recipe which suited our sweet tooth a little more, but the cookies themselves are fabulous!

I don't know what these negative reviews are all about. If you made the recipe the correct way, both the flavor and texture should be incredible. I accidentally made bricks (didn't plan on making the bars so thick) but people ate those up before the cut-outs were gone. This is going in my recipe box.

I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Perfect buttery shortbread cookies!! I followed this recipe exactly and these are fantastic!!!! I have never made them before but these are fool proof. I rolled the dough (make sure you use plenty of flour on the rolling pin) and made cut out cookies!! So delicate and yummy!! Thanks for sharing- I will be the coolest mom on the block for making these for the kiddos ;)

The dough was delicious! I couldn't stop eating it, but sadly these didn't turn out for me, the baking time was WAAAY too long, they were dark brown after 20 minutes. I'm mad at myself because I thought the baking time was too long when I first put them in, I would've baked for 10 minutes and then checked them. Good flavor, too long baking time. Maybe I made them too thin. Oh well, maybe I'll try it again another time.

this recipe is awesome. Actually messed up, would have been great the way it is written, but I downsized the pan, and shouldnt have. They took way to long to bake then came out partially raw near the middle. So, I cut it and re-baked for 10 minutes at 325, kind of like biscotti, and it turned out FANTASTIC!!! The regular recipe is 5 star, double baked it is 10 star!

I did not care for this recipe! The dough turned out too crumbly, more like corn meal in texture, and the cookies were so bland. I even added some vanilla as other reviewers suggested, but they just taste like barely sweetened butterfat with a poor texture. What a waste of time and ingredients. I advise looking for another recipe...I sure am!

This is a very good shortbread recipe. Quick and easy. It is very much like the shortbread in Scotland and Ireland. My son says it is his new favourite snack. Perfect with tea or coffee. I will be making this for Christmas to give as gifts for sure!

Sometimes you just can't beat Walkers Shortbread. I didn't find this recipe that fantastic. I added a little almond extract and rolled them out into cookies. Not sure what went wrong.

Oh wow!!! I HATE shortbread. I LOVE these cookies. I discovered Hershey's Halloween Kisses. They are candy corn-flavored (vanilla) and are most delicious! I thought I'd experiment for a party and make kiss cookies. I needed a plain butter recipe and chose this one due to its simplicity and rave reviews. Well, add me to the list! These turned out beautifully and are so yummy! I need to control myself so there are a few left for Saturday night's event. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I think next time I make these cookies, I'll try to use just a bit less butter. Perhaps I could add applesauce to make up the liquid difference to help control those evil calories. The cookies were delicious though!

I had a "dora the explorer" cookie stamp and my little boy loves that show, so I rolled the cookie dough into balls and then stamped each ball w/ the cookie stamp. I then baked them at 350 for 10 minutes, They turned out really cute and really good and my son definitely loved them.

My DD has *nine* allergies to foods. This is the ONLY cookie that she can eat. She thinks it is heaven!! I use white and brown rice flour, potato starch, nucoa margarine and organic evaporated cane sugar. To change it up I also will sometimes add pumpkin pie spice. I drop them on a cookie sheet until slightly brown and voila... my girl gets to enjoy the wonders of a cookie!
