FAQs
What makes shortbread different?
Shortbread, also known as shortie, is a traditional Scottish cookie. It is made using white sugar, butter, and wheat flour. Due to the higher proportion of butter and the absence of leavening agents, shortbread is a tender, melt-in-the-mouth baked good that’s unique and delectable.
Is shortbread incredibly soft?
While shortbread is tender, usually crumbly on the inside, it does have a slight crisp when one bites into it. Shortbread that is baked to perfection and stored well does not have any excess moisture.
Should I refrigerate my shortbread cookies?
The short answer is no. Shortbread cookies can be conveniently stored at room temperature when stored in an airtight container for an exceptionally long time due to no eggs being used.
Why is shortbread associated with Christmas?
Since shortbread was traditionally expensive, it was always reserved as a luxury in Scotland. The only occasions when people indulged in this delicacy were Christmas, Scottish New Year (Hogmanay), and Weddings. This is why Shortbread Cookies have a strong association with Christmas.
