Classic Scottish Shortbread

Classic Scottish Shortbread is a rich, buttery, melt-in-your mouth cookie made from butter, sugar and flour. Give these homemade cookies away in a plaid tin or box as a delightful gift to give away this holiday season. My vintage inspiration to make these cookies is from a cherished cookbook my mom gave me by the Associated Women for Shults-Lewis Child and Family Services in our Northwest Indiana town of Valparaiso.

Did you know that there are several ways shortbread can be formed into cookies? The most traditional way is of course as rectangle bars. Another option is to roll out the dough to 1/4″ and cut out shortbread into round cookies. A third option is to bake shortbread in round or square ceramic baking pan with embossing such as the Celtic knot or thistle, Scotland’s national flower and then cut into squares or scone-like wedges.
