Tips:
- Use cold butter. This will help to create a flaky, tender shortbread.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making it lighter and more delicate.
- Add the flour in small increments, mixing until just combined. Overmixing will toughen the dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the shortbread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
- Let the shortbread cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cookies from crumbling.
