Classic shortbread needs only butter, sugar, and flour. Its rich, crumbly texture makes it a favorite for holidays and gift tins.
Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms, press it into a pan or roll it out, and chill before baking. Bake until the edges are just lightly golden.
Pin Tip
Add a little vanilla, lemon zest, or a pinch of salt for easy flavor variations.
Quick Baking Checklist
Read the whole recipe before you start, measure ingredients accurately, preheat the oven fully, and set a timer a few minutes early so you can check for doneness. Small habits like these prevent most baking mistakes.
