Other forms: shortbreads
Shortbread is a delicious sweet, crumbly Scottish cookie. If you want to bake your own shortbread, you'll need a lot of butter!
Shortbread recipes vary, but most of them include a magical combination of flour, sugar, and butter. This traditional Scottish biscuit's high fat content gives it a crumbly texture caused by very short strands of gluten — and the short part of its name. Shortbread is associated with Christmas and the New Year in Scotland, where it also goes by the nickname shortie.
