This is a great recipe and the cookies are phenomenal. I wouldn't change a thing in the recipe. We love shortbread cookies in the family and these are perfect.

This was the first shortbread cookie recipe I ever tried and it worked out just fine! In fact I experimented with making a brown sugar cinnamon mixture and layered on half the cookies. I also lowered the oven tempurature to 325 and baked about 5 minutes longer. Cookies came excellent!

I did not have rice flour but used cake flour instead. These turned out great. I have made 4 pans of these and they have now become a staple to have with coffee in the morning! Thanks for sharing this one.

Delicious! I rolled out dough and used my husband's grandmother's English cookie cutters.

Made it!!! This is surely an easy to follow recipe. I did all as the recipe but make it as classic as possible by adding pure vanilla extract...and 1tbsp of salt... The dough is easy to be play with too...After I cut it in shapes, pricks it with fork and pour in sugar, I place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. The trick says it will firm up the dough so the cookies will maintain their shape when baked and glad to know that the trick works... It's indeed a wonderful recipe...give a new twist to a shortbread... but if you are trying to find a -buttery ala walkers shortbread... I don't think this is the recipe you are looking for...

FANTASTIC! Per other reviews I used confectioners sugar instead of regular and these were AMAZING. So buttery...but they do tend to fall apart in your hand/mouth but its worth it :)

Perfect! I did exactly what the recipe said and it came out wonderful. Oh I had a fan oven, so instead of 35 mins, they were done in 25. My husband is from Scotland and he loved it. (for those who don't know, shortbreads are native of scotland:)

The cookies have great taste but mine were very fragile. I cut them along the score lines after baking while they were still warm as the recipe suggested and most of them broke :( Next time I'd wait til they were mostly cool and see if that's any more successful.
