Expert Tips
Make a Christmas shortbread cookie version! Add some ginger, cinnamon, and orange zest for a festive Christmas flavor! See notes for exact measurements. Add fillings like chocolate chips or roasted or chopped nuts! Shortbread would be delicious with a bit of mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts added into the dough for flavor and texture! Don’t over bake! Shortbread cookies will only have a little bit of color on them when they are ready! These are baked at a low temperature for a long time, so that you don’t burn the edges and they set well in the oven.
