Absolutely love these shortbread cookie bars.

This is an old family recipe (4th generation) that has been passed down. I make these at Christmas time. A trick is the earlier you make them and freeze them, they get a more buttery flavour.

Love, love, love this recipe!!! Made it as is, didn't change a thing. It's easy, and simply delicious! Whenever I make them, they disappear like magic!

pretty good needed to bake longer.

I wonder what a little bit of lemon zest would taste like?

Been making these for years - they are great and everyone loves them. Quite often sprinkle a little sugar over the top before cooking. I also add different extracts for a change. Very easy and they freeze well.

Awesome!

Easy to make and it makes a larger amount.Will try the confectioner sugar next time in place of the regular sugar. Thanks for the info. This is a keeper.

Been making for years. In my recipe I use 1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar in place of regular sugar.

These could not be any easier to make or delicious to eat. This was my first time making shortbreads and they could not have been any better. Best ones Ive ever had!
