Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Christmas

Yield 36 approx cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1¼ cups flour
¼ cup rice flour (Obtain at oriental grocery or in the oriental aisle of large supermarkets. It usually is packaged in small plastic bags.)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1¼ sticks (10 tablespoons) pure butter (not unsalted butter)
OPTIONAL: 1 teaspoon vanilla (the Scots don't add this)

Steps:

  • Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut butter into pieces and add. With hands knead into a firm dough resembling clay. Vanilla is optional; knead in at this point if used. [The preceding can also be done in a food processor with ease.] Place on a floured board and roll 3/8 to 1/3-inch thick. Either cut with a small 2-inch round cookie cutter or cut with a sharp knife into small triangles or finger shapes. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each cookie three times with a toothpick or with a fork and sprinkle sugar over the tops. Bake at 375° F. until edges turn faintly tan. DO NOT ALLOW COOKIES TO BROWN. Remove from oven, and while hot, sprinkle tops with more granulated sugar, if desired. Cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I'm not a huge fan of shortbread cookies, but I really enjoyed these. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, crumbly texture. I'll definitely be making them again.

This Scottish shortbread recipe is a keeper! The cookies turned out perfectly - crispy on the edges and tender in the middle. I followed the recipe exactly and didn't have any problems. Highly recommend!
