"My mother is from Scotland and this is her authentic Scottish shortbread recipe. It makes bars, not cookies!"
These 3-ingredient Scottish Shortbread Cookies come from an old family recipe that has been passed down for generations, and they're perfect for holiday baking! Best of all, there are no eggs, no leavening agents, and no chilling necessary -- so they're ready to enjoy in less than one hour. Rich and buttery, but not too sweet, the simple treats are delicious alongside a mug of hot cocoa or a cup of coffee. Decorate Christmas shortbread cookies with icing and sprinkles for a festive touch!
