I'm a kid and i loveeeeeeeeeee baking (mostly eating them) i think this was great and my family loved them. 10/10 AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite shortbread recipe! Easy to make and suits both cookie cutters and shaping your own biscuits by hand :)

i've made these and put blue stars and blue sugar on top and called them Matariki shortbread.

Worst recipe ever! Just made a bowl of crumbs and will end up having to toss the lot. What a waste!

As a first time shortbread baker i found it awesome. Kids enjoyed making shapes and kneading the dough.

I’ve made these biscuits a few times and they are always delicious. My kids love them, and love helping make and decorate them. People always ask for the recipe. I sometimes dip them in runny icing when they are cool, or decorate with sprinkles before they go in the oven.

Very pleased with results. I have made these biscuits twice already. I find they only need to cook for 20 minutes.

Followed recipe exactly but when trying to roll its crumbly, any suggestions.
CHELSEA: Hi there, this dough is usually pretty good. You could add a very small amount (1 Tbsp) cold water or softened butter if you are finding it too crumbly.

Delicious cookies & easy dough to work with. I made the dough into 2 small long rolls, wrapped in baking paper. Placed this in the fridge - refrigerator cookies = perfect little shapes, with no fiddly dough prep.

Turned out PERFECT. Added 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice just for personal preference. This is my holy grail shortbread recipe, I won't use anything else for the rest of my life!

An easy shortbread recipe which has a scrumptious outcome!!!

I was cutting it out as quickly as my wee darling was trying to eat the dough!! Very popular and very, very easy. Great for kids to help with, as not much can go wrong!
