...having lived in the UK for a number of years. I once thought I had to import the stuff into the USA until I tried this recipe. Easy and delicious! I prefer it plain with no chocolate. A plate of these sold at my church's dessert auction for $100.
Thanks, Ina -- you're the best.

This shortbread cookie recipe is great. I'm a shortbread freak, and very, very picky about it.
The only issue we had was that it was difficult to roll after chilled. We had to let it warm up a bit before we could roll it.
Then, we cut them thick. Really awesome!

These were the easiest cookies to make ever and were great!!! The dough was a little crumbly but was very easy the manage, I thought they were delicious and buttery. I didn't have unsalted butter but skipped putting in an extra butter and they came out excellent. Way to go Ina another fab recipe...

Only have salted butter on hand and use it in every recipe including cookies. Reduce the salt in any recipe by half. You will actually end up using less salt which is fine with me. As much as I LUV INA I think she uses too much salt as many FN chefs do.

My mother and I went out to pick blackberries with my kids and I was fridging the dough while we were gone this was not only a great thing in my mind but my mother AKA Ms health food nut. She ate three pieces before days end!

This will be one of my favorites, very tender cookie. This recipe is excellent, just remember to keep the cookie dough chilled before it gets baked. I kept the extra trays in the refrigerator while 1 tray was baking. This kept them from spreading out too much. I ordered the cookie cutter from coppergifts.com, it works just perfect. I will use this recipe for all my shortbread cutouts at other holiday's. Thanks again Ina!!

These were a great basic cookie recipe that can be used for a ton of other things. They were so easy to make I can't figure out why I always bought shortbread cookies. For those of you with crumbly problems, I find if I cool these longer than 30 minutes I have some problems, also I let them warm a touch before rolling. Then I cool again (just a few minutes right before baking to help hold their shape. I only do this in summer when it is so hot the butter melts while I work with the cookie.
