Scottish Shortbread Cookies (from Debbi)

Scottish Shortbread Cookies (from Debbi)

This is the recipe I give with my shortbread cookie stamps. It is very good and a batch never makes it past 24 hours. The baking time is vague and so is the oven temp. If you have a small oven, use the lower temp and if you have a larger oven, use the higher temp. Baking times varies with your oven size. Really. (vbg)

1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Flour
1 cup Butter, softened (DO NOT substitute margarine... nasty)

Mix together dry ingredients. Knead in butter. You may need to add more flour, depending on humidity, etc.

Make dough into balls. Stamp with floured stamp or press with a floured glass.

Bake at 350°F to 375°F degrees until the stamp pattern begins to barely brown or the bottom just barely browns, 8 to 12 minutes maybe.
