Grandma's Shortbread Cookies image

My grandmother brought this recipe with her from Scotland and always served it at the holidays (or whenever we wanted a special treat). I've translated her measurements into U.S. but the recipe is the same.

I'm not a huge fan of shortbread cookies, but these ones are really good. They're not too sweet and have a nice crumbly texture.

Grandma's shortbread cookies are a classic for a reason. They're simple to make, yet always a hit with everyone who tries them. I love the way the sugar crystals sparkle on top after they're baked.
