So I made this recipe and it was really good!!!!
Then.. I started breaking out in to hives for some reason and my ankles swelled up and I felt like throwing up. So I went to my doctor and he reminded me of my horrible butter allergy (I have memory problems and I told him that I had just eaten 4 POUNDS of it. Turns out I have 3 days to live. So thank you, shortbread, for making my last days so delicious.

If you have a butter allergy, eat this because even if you die it will be worth it!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried this recipe a while ago. I should have read all of these reviews first. I made it for a soup kitchen and was attempting to serve it to lots of hungry people. I cooked it about double the baking time and it never solidified. I kept pouring excess butter out, but I never could get this to turn out. Horrible mistake.

I cook for large groups of people so I thought this would be great. There must be some mistakes in the recipe. Should the 4 lbs. of butter be 4 cups? I put the whole mess in the trash. I did manage to catch the error in the pan size before putting in the to thin batter. It was a diaster.

I love shortbread and chocolate, and I thought this recipe looked and sounded delicious. I've tried this receipe unsucessfully TWICE--first as is, and the second time with modifications. The first time, the butter just floated to the top nearly an inch deep, leaving a greasy oily residue. It tasted okay, but I hated to see the expensive real butter wasted.The second time, I took reader reviews and cut down on the butter, but it turned out hard, flat and almost like a candy brittle. Another mess in the trash. AND THREE TABLESPOONS OF SALT FOR ONE PAN OF COOKIES???? Ick ack yuck. Terrible, I expected more out of the new Foodnetwork Star.

The recipe measurements are all wrong, if this is justfor one 10 X 14 pan, please revise, I have tried to adjust to no avail- would like to make them when you all find out the correct measurements

I followed the recipe & the measurements are definitely wrong. I looked at the reviews & tried again with less butter. The shortbread came out hard as a rock. I was afraid my guests would break their teeth trying to eat it. What a disaster. A huge waste of time & money. We need a negative star category for this one.

I used the same amount of ingredients they listed in the recepie and it turned out horrible. If they are going to have a recipie on their web-site they should test it out knowing that fans of the show are going to try it. Maybe when Amy gets her own show she can show us the proper way to cook it.

I used the appropriate pans and the recipe porportions, and I wound up with a smoky oven and a mess! Be careful, and hope you had better luck than I did.

I too should have read the reviews before making this recipe. There is obviously a huge error here. I knew it looked funny before I even baked it, so I added a little more flour, and it still totally flopped. I cut the recipe down to one 1/4, and obviously a lb. of butter and 2+ tsp. of salt was still way too much. I don't think the original recipe could have worked even if not cut down. 4lbs. of butter!! That's outrageous, especially to that amount of flour. It sounded so good, my 11 year old and daughter were really looking forward to something delicious, what a disaster! Mine went overboard all over the oven, and the rest went down the drain. It literally had pools of butter. We could tell w/ the right proportions, it could have been delicious. Thank you to the person who fixed the measurements, we'll try it again today. Food network should remove this recipe and fix it, that is obviously not how it came out for the marines, Giada and Paula seemed to love it. A recipe mix up happened somewhere.
