About Shortbread cookies
Shortbread cookies are a classic treat originating from Scotland, traditionally made with just three simple ingredients: butter, sugar, and flour. This simplicity gives them their signature crumbly texture and rich, buttery flavor. Variations may include vanilla, lemon zest, or chocolate, but the core recipe remains unchanged across centuries. Though undeniably indulgent, shortbread cookies are high in saturated fat and sugar, offering minimal nutritional value. They are best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat. While not a health food, their lack of preservatives or artificial ingredients in traditional recipes makes them a more straightforward option compared to many processed snacks. Perfect alongside tea or coffee, shortbread cookies hold a cherished place in global cuisine due to their melt-in-the-mouth goodness and comforting nostalgia.
