KITTENCAL'S SCOTCH SHORTBREAD BARS
These shortbread bars is one of my all-time favorite recipes... I find that baking shortbread in a baking pan somehow produces a flakier, richer cookie...I'm sure you will enjoy these as much as we do.

KITTENCAL'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD
This is a light, buttery flakey shortbread that is quite similar to the expensive brands that are sold in the stores, the success of this shortbread or any shortbread recipe will depend on the quality of butter that you use so purchase the best quality butter you can find, and use only salted butter, if you are using unsalted add in a pinch of salt, the almond extract is only optional -- the amount of sugar will give give a medium sweetness, if you prefer a sweeter shortbread then increase by 2-4 tablespoons, for brown sugar shortbread use brown sugar in place of white, I advise to make this a few days ahead to allow the flavors ripen --- servings is only estimated.

KITTENCAL'S BUTTERY FLAKY SHORTBREAD PAN COOKIES
This recipe will make two pans of the most delicious flaky buttery shortbread and may I add these travel well for shipping ;-) --- using a food processor insures that you will have a very tender flaky cookie, plus they take only minutes to make, these may be made up to 2 weeks in advance and store at room temperature in an airtight container, but they won't last that long lol! and they only get better with time! If you are using unsalted butter then increase the salt to 1/4 teaspoon --- make certain to slice the cookies while it is still warm and then cool completely --- while the baked cookie dough is still warm you can cut into small shapes or circles if desired --- you will *love* these!
