Cooks Tips
Shortbread dough works well frozen – make and wrap in plastic wrap and then place in a plastic bag removing all the air and freeze. Simply defrost in fridge and while still cold slice (the dough slices easily when cold) and bake as per above.
If you want to make “chocolate inspired shortbread replace 2 TBsp flour for 2 Tbsp good quality chocolate and if you want to add chocolate chips you can but just ½ cup as the shortbread is rich. At Xmas time add sweetened dried cranberries for a festive touch – again ½ cup.
