About Shortbread cookie
Shortbread cookies are classic, buttery treats with roots in Scottish cuisine, traditionally enjoyed for their rich, crumbly texture. Made with a simple blend of flour, butter, and sugar, these cookies rely on their high butter content for flavor and tenderness, often without the addition of leavening agents. Variations may include vanilla, chocolate, or spices for added dimension. While shortbread cookies are a delicious indulgence, their nutritional profile leans more toward fat and sugar, making them a calorie-dense snack with little fiber or protein. They are best consumed in moderation as a treat rather than a staple. Shortbread’s simplicity and rich flavor make it a perfect companion to tea or coffee, often enjoyed during holidays or special occasions. For a slightly healthier twist, whole wheat flour or reduced sugar can be used in recipes, though this will alter the traditional texture and taste.
