I love chunky shortbread however most of the stuff you get in the shops are thin “rounds”. So for the past month I’ve been looking for a really good chunky shortbread recipe. As it turns out, shortbread is really simple to make.
You will need:
- 1/2 cup of sugar.
- 1 cup of butter.
- 2 cups of plain flour.
1. Preheat oven to 160 C / Gas mark 2.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together. Sift in the flour. Dough will be stiff.
3. Press into a 9″ tin lined with baking parchment.
4. Prick the dough with a fork then press dents in with a knuckle.
5. Bake until a pale golden brown on the edges, approximately 1 hour. If you think its getting too dark cover with tin foil.
6. Sprinkle sugar over the top. Cut into squares then leave to cool.
Enjoy!
Yum!

I love shortbread, my mouth is watering! It is so easy to bake, I used to bake it a lot, but have gotten out of the habit. Yumm!
Will try it … yum!
It’s so bad you can’t send me an email with this shortbread! Science has nothing to be proud about! 😉
I could set up an online shop selling freshly made shortbread.
Did you try selling it not online? Did you figure out if it will be worth your time and efforts?
Yum!! I’ll be trying this one!! 😄
I will have to come back to this later. Thanks!
You’re welcome 😀
