Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shortbread cookies.
  • Make sure your butter is cold. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape better.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
