I've tried a lot of shortbread recipes and this one is by far the best. The cookies are so light and flaky, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I found it to be very bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies turned out terrible. They were flat and hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were too dry and crumbly for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of shortbread cookies, but I have to say, these are pretty darn good. They're not too sweet and have a nice, buttery flavor.

These cookies are a bit more time-consuming to make than other shortbread recipes, but they're worth it. The extra steps really make a difference in the final product.
