Classic Shortbread Cookies
Description
This recipe is made of only 4 ingredients, and takes minimal effort! This was my grandmothers recipe and tastes just like the boxed shortbread, but even better (in my VERY unbiased opinion ;))
You can also make the dough in advance and keep it in plastic wrap in the fridge for when you have time to make the shapes and bake!
