3 Ingredients Only!
Shortbread cookies are rich and buttery, but not overly sweet and so delicious. We first fell in love with these cookies years ago when we mastered our classic Shortbread Cookie recipe. We love that recipe so much but also wanted to have a simplified version that was just as good – that’s where today’s easy shortbread cookie comes into play. This easy cookie recipe only requires 3 ingredients!! Amazing, right? They have a higher butter-to-flour ratio than sugar cookies and are more crumbly than a Butter Cookie creating that melt-in-your-mouth sensation. They are so simple even the kids can make them!
