These are simply amazing! I had a craving for shortbread cookies and wanted some in a hurry and this recipe was the answer. They are so delicious, fast and easy to make. This has immediately found a spot in my list of all-time favorite recipes.

    I just used this recipe in a primary school cooking class. It was a smashing success. If you have a problem with it being too dry (which can happen after rolling out a few times) just add a tiny bit of water and it'll be the perfect consistency. Thanks for a super simple, delecable cookie recipe!
