For many, shortbread evokes fond memories of childhood or special occasions, which makes it a special teatime snack to have.
Shortbread can very well be enjoyed plain or enhanced with various flavours, such as vanilla, chocolate, or nuts, making it suitable for different preferences.
But for those who enjoy simplicity, one easy recipe could come in handy, as it makes a batch of this classic treat using just three ingredients.
The food website allrecipes.com, where this recipe was shared, also recommends dipping half the cookie in chocolate for an extra-sweet twist.
You can also take these delicious biscuits up a notch by sprinkling your favourite toppings over the melted chocolate before letting it cool down.
And the best part is, when prepared as per instructions, this recipe makes 20 servings of these deliciously buttery treat in just one hour.
IngredientsOne cup butter, softened
Half cup superfine sugar
Two cups all-purpose flour
MethodPreheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a nine inch square baking pan with foil, allowing some overhang on each side.
In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar with a spoon until the mixture resembles a sandy texture. Gradually incorporate the flour, then knead the dough a few times until it's crumbly rather than smooth.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and poke it all over with a fork. Place the pan in the oven and bake until set, approximately 45 minutes.
While still warm, score the surface with a knife. Once cooled, lift the cookies out using the foil and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. When fully cooled, break them apart along the scored lines.
