REALLY easy and melt-in-you-mouth delicious. Could not be any better as is, but what a great base for all kinds of decorating, dipping, glazing, etc. I made a batch and everyone who has tried them wants the recipe. Thanks!

I am new to cooking, but love this website. I find it so helpful to read the reviews as I am able to get the best out of a recipe. On this recipe I used 3 & 3/4 cup of flour. Next time I would increase that amount because while the taste of the shortbread was absolutely fabulous, the shortbread did spread. Also, when I kneaded the dough, I used 1/2 flour and 1/2 confectioners sugar on the board. This gives it a much sweeter taste. I took it to a party tonight, and it was a BIG hit. I even got asked for the recipe. Not a single piece left, but thank goodness I kept 3 pieces at home to have with my tea. Also, I cooked it in 2 batches. The first batch turned out perfect at 25 minutes. The second batch was a little overdone at 25 minutes. I realize I would rather have them underdone than over done. Brown does not work on shortbread for all you novices out there like me. Cheers.

Very good. I am trying to become more of a "baker" instead of a cook.. so this was a great recipe to start with. Got a little creative and added a hint of almond extract and dropped an almond in the middle of the cookie once they were cooked. Took the advice of another review and just rolled the cookies into balls and flattened.

Coming from Scotland I have been looking for a great shortbread recipe for some time. This one is perfect. I made it last night and most of it is gone.... I need to make a new batch tonight. It is quick, easy, cooks up a treat. Don't change a thing and thanks for the recipe.

I just made this for the first time and it was heavenly! I halved the recipe because I didn't have enough butter for the whole thing on hand, and had a bit of trouble bringing it all together, was kind of crumbly. My son helped me cut it into holiday shapes and decorate them. A second batch was just cut in strips and poked with a fork. They just melt in your mouth! Tastes just like Walkers! My Gran would have loved them.

I don't know what happened with this recipe.....it came out horrible for me. I wasted 6 things of butter. The finished product spread when it was cooking making a total mess in my oven. It actually tasted really good(when does butter and sugar ever taste bad) but it ended up about 1/4 inch tall. I ended up tossing it to the trash. I will try again because it was so simple maybe I'll just make one batch instead of doubling it. If it works next time, I will rate it again.

Delicious cookie. I followed the directions and my cookies came out really thin and crispy. Maybe I over mixed the dough? My next batch I will mix less and cut them thicker.

This shortbread recipe is the best I have ever tried, absolute perfection. I added a touch of vanilla and a pinch of salt. This ultra simple recipe yields spectacular results.

I added lemon zest for extra flavor. I thought that there was too much butter, so I cut it down a bit. Otherwise, yummy!

This shortbread recipe is SO delicious and SO easy to make! Using only real butter results in a rich flavor, yet the amount of brown sugar is not overpowering with sweetness. I didn't alter the recipe one bit, and, they turned out wonderful! Thanks, Linda!

Great flavor! Not as good if made into a drop cookie with jam. Best if rolled flat.

Very good and VERY buttery. I don't know how anyone got their cookies to be such perfect rectangles but mine turned out somewhat rounded. Any suggestions?

Authentic shortbread taste. Sooo much better than what you find in stores. I made mine entirely by hand (no mixers here), and didn't have a rolling pin or anything, so I let the dough sit in the fridge for about 15 minutes, then rolled it into balls, flattened them with my palm, and did the fork punches. Cooked them for about 18 minutes and the outcome? Super tasty. If a college guy like me can do it, anyone can. Inexpensive and easy recipe. I highly recommend it!

Delicious! Tastes just like real shortbread ought to and the brown sugar gives it a really wonderful aroma. I halved the recipe to try it out, but will never do that again! They disappeared very fast!
