Really, really good and SUPER easy. Actually, I made the recipe even easier by 1 using salted butter rather than adding salt separately, 2 softening the butter in the microwave rather than waiting the requisite 3+ hours for it to sufficiently soften, 3 skipping the additional sprinkling of sugar. The dough rolled easily after it "rested" in my fridge for 30 minutes... I rolled them out to approximately 3/8" thick, cut them with bunny cookie cutters for my daughter's Easter party, and baked them for 12 minutes at 350 F. They are perfect: buttery, not too sweet, and just a wee bit flaky. This recipe is a keeper.

These are delicious and so easy. I rolled them to 1/4 inch and used Christmas cookie cutters, iced them with a shiny decorator icing. Since the cookies aren't too sweet, the icing is perfect on them. They really hold their shape while baking, especially if you place the cutout cookies in the freezer for a few minutes before baking. I baked only about 11-13 minutes and they were perfect! They are also delicious just plain, or with a dusting of powdered sugar as in traditional shortbread.

what an amazing easy recipe and so yummmyy be warned make sure you either only bake a few at a time or plan on having help around to eat them, cause if their in the kitchen, all alone, in the dark, sad and lonely They WILL call your name.
This recipe is also so easy to adapt, you can do cinnamon, or pecans, or chocolate, or orange etc....

Loved these. Best cookie I've ever made. It was also extrememly simple as my 5 yo helped me make them. I used a cookie icing instead of sprinkling them with sugar.

I found these shortbread very easy to make, does not need many ingredients. I made them twice in last two weeks, kids love them so good with tea or coffee. You have to like that buttery taste to enjoy them. I will make them again and again.

These are very tasty, basic, old fashioned shortbread cookies. My fiance thought they were a little too buttery for her liking and suggested that next time, we add lemon or orange zest to the dough. The simple sugar sprinkle can also be jazzed up. To add another layer of texture, instead of sprinkling sugar on some, we used tiny ball sprinkles (came out great.

I just finished baking these for a Christmas Party, using cookie cutters of trees and stars. Previous reviews are correct...The recipe was easy to follow, just make sure the butter is room temp! I too, pulled them early (between 17 & 18 min. If they are left in the full 20 minutes, they will be too brown (maybe because I rolled out dough to 1/4 inch instead of 1/2 inch. The taste is very delicate and delicious...classic shortbread! Thank you, Ina!

These come out perfectly. Two important things to note. One, make sure you use butter that is at room temperature. Two, keep your eye on them in the oven. I pulled them at 18 minutes. Any longer than that and they would have been too crisp.
In addition to Valentine's Day, I also make these for Christmas using a Christmas tree cookie cutter.
