Grandma's Shortbread
Tip
If you use Gluten Free flour, it makes an even lighter, shorter Shortbread. And I thought I couldn't improve on this recipe. I made this recently for my Gluten free friend and really enjoyed how yummy it was. Try it!!! You won't be disappointed.

This is my go to recipe for shortbread, I roll into a log using cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing. They taste just as good if not better than Bakers Delight shortbread.

I am not a shortbread person at all, only made this as an easy activity with my 4yo... well I am converted! Just made my second batch & added fresh rosemary & cranberries for some Christmas flavour! Hopefully this will actually make it out of my own kitchen this time!

So easy & delicious! First time making shortbread & they turned out great. I weighed into 25g balls & pressed into silicone muffin tins with a Christmas stamp. It kept them perfectly round.

Quick, easy and the best shortbread I’ve ever made!
This first batch won’t make it to being Christmas gifts 😂
I tried using a cookie cutter, but found it a bit soft to work with.
I then stuck to baking slices in rounds and that made it incredibly quick and easy.
Thumbs up from this shortbread junkie 👍🏼

I dont eat shortbread. I dont cook shortbread. I dont buy shortbread but my Ottollenghi 'Sumac-roasted strawberries with yoghurt cream' needed some crunch. OMG. This is the BEST. I, stupidly, halved the recipe and it was inhaled with one short breath. The dessert was delicious and the shortbread made it so.

I trialled the tiny star cutter for the first time and it was great. The rest I baked in typical shortbread shape after chilling the log in the fridge to make it easier to cut

Hubby loves shortbread, and he loved these. Will be making again. Took a bit longer to cook. I did put them quite close together, but they did spread slightly. That was fine. I just used a sharp knife to separate them while they were still hot.

LisadayleTM5:I also used Nuttelex. Yes it was crumbly (not all of it) but I didn’t care, I still loved it. I also have TM5. The only difference was I used normal plain flour so can’t really help you.

LisadayleTM5:some recipes you just can’t substitute butter (sets hard) for a margarine or soft setting butter.

LisadayleTM5: The butter would be one of the main things making it taste like shortbread - don't think that you can blame the recipe if you swap it out for Nutlex. Also, making it gluten free does make it very short and fragile, but is still delicious when made with butter.

I made this with the intention of giving as Christmas presents, it was so good that both myself and my family struggled to part with them! I rested in the fridge in thermomat to cool the dough and make it easier to work with as I wanted to use cookie cutters. It was so easy!
so simple, easy and delicious

Hey there. Thanks for your comment. I'm unsure about doubling the recipe... How long did you adjust the time for?
