Scottish Brown Sugar Shortbread image

A melt-in-your mouth, first prize winning recipe from a Scottish Mother, and published in Taste of Home magazine. This shortbread also won a red ribbon at a fair. Easy to make with only three ingredients; butter, brown sugar and flour. I use a plastic quilt ruler, that I keep just for baking, to measure out the dough strips. Instead of the ruler, you could make a pattern from wax paper or a plastic lid to get all your cookies a nice even size. Makes a wonderful gift for any occasion.

Scrumptious! The shortbread had a rich, buttery flavor and a delightful crunch. The addition of the brown sugar gave it a caramel-like sweetness that was simply irresistible.
