Your recipe is the easiest and the closest to the one I used to make in the 1970s. I do use almond extract rather than vanilla. Because I have very limited work area, rather than rolling out the dough I form it into 2 logs that I chill and then slice into cookies using a wire cheese slicer. Thank you.

In reply to Corrie. Hey there! I can't find a recipe that adds baking soda to recommend to you. I apologize for that.

Hello, I’m looking for a Scottish cookie recipe that has baking powder or Soda for a crispier snap, rather then a crumbling type. Trust me I love your recipe, can you help me?

In reply to Kara. I love doing that myself (and I struggle to not eat too many myself!)

I drizzled mine with melted chocolate. Delish! I could eat way too many of these!

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. I did use 2 sticks (fully softened) of unsalted butter. I did scoop out flour but did not pack it. As I stated (because I cheated & tasted to test flavor) the flavor of dough was great. I will try your suggestion pressing dough into baking dish. I just hated the thought of tossing out the dough, so thank you for your suggestion...hoping for the best!🙏

In reply to Julie. Hi Julie! I am so sorry you are disappointed with this recipe. There is not an ingredient left out and I am not sure why you are having this issue. Did you use a full 2 sticks of butter or just 1? Was your butter fully soft? How did you measure your flour? Was it spooned into your measuring cup or scooped out? These answers will help me to troubleshoot fully for you. In the meantime, you can refrigerate the dough again until fully chilled. Instead of rolling it out, press the dough into an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Prick the holes as directed and then then bake as directed, increasing the time by 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes and then remove the parchment paper and gently cut into squares and then let cool fully.

I followed the recipe (Shortbread Cookies) to the letter, the dough tasted great....couldn't get the dough to hang together, but after some maneuvering, I got it into a ball...thought maybe the secret was in refrigeration...but I couldnt even roll out dough w/o it breaking up! Was there a liquid that was left out of the recipe? I'm SO disappointed! Now what do I do with this dough or how to fix it?

I love a good shortbread cookie! Lorna Doone & GS Trefoils are some of my absolute favorites! But, sadly, I'm alone in this house in regards to my love of a shortbread! Love that this is a small batch recipe. Even though I could easily eat a whole huge batch of cookies, I certainly don't need to! And since I'm on my own, a smaller batch is perfect. They'll still be gone way too quickly, though... they're just so stinkin' delicious!
