    I loved the shortbread cookies! My oven temp is different so I didn't need as much time. Oh yeah and I added a little bit more citrus ;

    These are heavenly!!! My only concern is that my bars werre done in 40 minutes, not nearly 1 hour 20 min. I agree with the other reviewer: check between 30-40 minutes!

    My family went crazy for these. Just good old-fashioned buttery goodness. They are now a holiday staple. I might try them with lemons next time.

    This is a very good shortbread recipe. I took mine out of the oven at 1 hour and they looked EXACTLY like the picture, so remember that every oven is different. The end result is crisp and tasty, just like shortbread should be. I actually prefer mine a little softer, so would probably bake less next time to keep them from getting quite so crisp, but this is a good, solid recipe for traditional shortbread.

    I've made this recipe a few times and it's always a hit. I actually had a friend give me his old Kitchen Aid mixer with the stipulation that I only had to make him a batch of these cookies!! My only trouble is getting a consistent result, I think it has to do with overbeating the dough. Take my advice and be gentle on your dough! Doing it by hand is better, if you can.

    These cookies are good, not special. Start checking then after 30 minute of cooking!!!

    Although the baking time was too long, the shortbread was excellent. I used a potato peeler and with a light hand, I was able to take off the top layer of the fruit- did not have any membrane at all. When the shavings were added to the sugar and blended, the mixture was perfect.

    Everyone has loved my version of citrus shortbread...when I was processed the sugar and tangerine zest I added 1/3 cup dried cranberries for a festive color. Great result. The cookie dough concerned me when I patted it into my shortbread pan because it seemed so crumbly and dry but it baked up just fine and flipped out of my pan beautifully. I'll make again!
