Tips:
- Choose the right butter. For the flakiest shortbread, use unsalted butter that is cold and cut into small pieces. You can also use frozen butter, but be sure to grate it before adding it to the dough.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the shortbread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown. The shortbread is done baking when it is golden brown around the edges and the center is set.
- Let the shortbread cool completely before serving. The shortbread will be easier to cut and will hold its shape better if you let it cool completely before serving.
