Grandma’s Scottish Shortbread
My Scottish grandmother was renowned for her baking, and one of the highlights whenever we visited my grandparents was her bringing out the baking tin. Her shortbread cookies were my favorite, and now, whenever I make them, I remember her. This is not a thin, crispy dessert shortbread; it’s a deep bar that is best served with a cup of tea. —Jane Kelly, Wayland, Massachusetts

This is wonderful! I made them and shared with family and friends and everyone thought they were delicious - definitely a keeper. I have another shortbread recipe and it also calls for the Rice Flour - do not substitute that as it really makes this special.
This is almost identical to my own Scottish grandmother's recipe that she brought over with her when she immigrated here a hundred years ago it's very close to my great aunt Nellie's recipe which did not include rice flour. I prefer making Aunt Nellie's because rice flour is not easy to find.
This is nothing like my mother-in-laws recipe for original shortbread. She was from Scotland.
Wonderful recipes, love it. I sometimes cut it in shapes it was are having a get together.
