Shortbread Cookie Recipe
Today I’m sharing a recipe for shortbread cookies. I made these cookies for the first time last week and they came out perfect. I rolled my dough out and used a circle cookie cutter to cut my cookies, however, you could use any shaped cookie cutter since these cookies don’t spread while baking and retain their shape very well.
