Classic Scottish Butter Shortbread
Ingredients
  • 2 cups butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
3
Combine the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until they form a uniform, velvety mixture.
4
Add three to three and three-quarters cups of flour; thoroughly blend the ingredients together.
5
Cover your work surface with a layer of remaining flour. Use your hands or a mixing tool to knead the dough for five minutes, gradually adding more flour as needed to achieve a soft, pliable consistency.
6
Unfold the dough into a thin layer of approximately half an inch. Cut it into strips that measure three inches in length and one inch in width.
7
Pierce each shortbread cookie with a fork, then place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
8
Place the shortbread cookies in the preheated oven and bake until their edges are golden brown, lasting approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
