Good and came out perfectly, but I felt as something was missing. I can't believe I am going to say this but possibly more salt or use salted butter. Maybe it is just me But I will say I am very cautious with salt (hubby has high BP, I only put the 1/4 teaspoon but next time I think I will use 1/2 t. to 3/4 t.. I had 20 cookies and baked for 21 minutes. Happy cooking to all! :

The finished cookies came out great - dipped half in dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt. I made the dough and froze it as flat discs. About a week later I thawed the frozen dough overnight in the fridge and then shaped and baked the cookies as directed. Sturdy but not super-heavy cookies. This is now my go-to shortbread recipe.

I made these Sunday Dec 18, I had a difficult time with the dough so I added 1 egg, then I realized that it was 3/4 of a pound of butter not 3/4 of a cup of butter after I added the correct measurements the dough was beautiful, it didn't crumble or crack it stayed together nicely.
Last night (Monday Dec 19 I made these again, but this time I didn't add the egg and the dough was very hard to work with, it was crumbly and it cracked as I rolled it, I think the egg made a big difference. Both batches of cookies are really good but the egg made all the difference.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Ina! THE perfect shortbread cookie. I made 4 batches of these for Christmas - 2 to give away and 1 more because everyone at home freaked out that I had given them all away! I am making my 4th batch now - just to have while everyone is home this week. They are THE perfect cookie and so incredibly easy. Like Oliscar, I am a Mom on the go (triplets! and this recipe was easy and made me look like a million bucks! Thanks Ina!

Sooo good! This is my first Christmas as a new mom of twins and figured I better learn how to bake cookies now since I'm not a baker. I didn't have a mixer (stirred it all by hand and used salted butter since that's what is in the fridge and the cookies turned out delicious. I don't even need a few years of practice baking to know these are amazing...too bad the kids can't enjoy them yet, but that means more for mom!

These cookies were okay. I bought them to school with me and all my friends loved it and couldn't believe that I baked it. Oh and if you are using a hand mixer than you have to keep on mixing it until your mixer slows down by itself by collecting all the dough. Stand mixer is much more eisier though. They were okay though and I used different cookie cutters like a heart and star.

Super yummy cookies! My first batch went smoothly. My second batch came out a bit crumbly as other reviewers have mentioned - not sure what I did differently. To remedy, I just kneaded the dough a bit more by hand (which I assume warmed the butter up a bit and allowed the dough to come together better. After the additional kneading, the dough was perfect and ready to be rolled and cut!
