i made this as directed, as is. my whole family found these to be very dry and flavorless. i made the second batch edible by using the jam insert, and the third batch edible by dipping them in chocolate. i will not make this recipe again.

Oh these were delicious! Very light in texture and the taste - exactly the kind of shortbread I prefer! I halved the recipe and added slightly more cornstarch than asked for - I don't think you can taste it or the flour at all, you can feel them in texture but not taste. I love that these aren't crispy like most recipes, but were melt in your mouth perfect. I don't think words are enough to describe them! I did not alter anything, time and temp were perfect for me, as was recipe! Will be baking more asap, since I took the first ones to church (they were given great reviews)

These were great following the recipe but to some I added a little grated orange peel and that added a subtle flavor. You could add grated lemon peel too. I didn't cut back on the corn starch and they were really good.

My daughter was beginning to take them in her lunch because her friends quite liked them! I loved them, myself.

my first shortbread trial. they are really good. i like to take a fork and press down on the cookies. this way they are not so doughy in the middle

great recipe as a base, but i think some of the proportions are a little off...equal parts cornstarch to sugar seems a little much to me, might be too starchy? i reduced the cornstarch by half and increased the powdered sugar by half and found it was perfect, i would make this recipe again using these measurements instead. adding orange concentrate or lemon juice and a bit of zest makes a nice variation too!
