I'm not a huge fan of shortbread cookies, but these ones are pretty good! They're not too sweet and they have a nice buttery flavor. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who likes shortbread cookies.

These shortbread cookies are a great make-ahead treat! I made a batch a few weeks ago and they've been keeping well in an airtight container. I love that I can just grab a few when I need a quick snack.

Meh. I've had better shortbread cookies. These ones were a bit dry and bland. I won't be making them again.

Not bad! The shortbread cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

Easy Scottish Shortbread is such a delightful treat! The buttery, crumbly texture just melts in your mouth. I especially love the addition of oats, which adds a lovely nutty flavor and chewy texture. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
