Tips:
- Use high-quality butter: The butter is the main ingredient in shortbread cookies, so it's important to use a high-quality butter that has a good flavor. Look for butter that is made from grass-fed cows and has a butterfat content of at least 82%.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a smooth and creamy cookie dough.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature: Shortbread cookies should be baked at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) so that they can cook evenly without burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent the cookies from crumbling.

Stamped shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
