About Shortbread
Shortbread is a classic buttery cookie with origins in Scotland, traditionally made using three simple ingredients: butter, sugar, and flour. Renowned for its crumbly texture and rich flavor, this beloved treat often appears in festive occasions and afternoon teas. While shortbread is a source of quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, it is high in fat and sugar, making it less ideal as a health-conscious snack. The butter provides a dose of saturated fat, which should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Variations may include the addition of vanilla, spices, or nuts for enhanced flavor, but the base recipe remains indulgent and straightforward. Despite its simplicity, shortbread's caloric density makes it a treat best savored occasionally rather than regularly.
