I’m sorry but trying to market shortbread as “easy 3 ingredient shortbread” is quite frankly false advertising because shortbread only ever has 3 ingredients!!
Its a ratio 3:2:1 of flour butter and sugar. Its the easiest thing in the world to make. Mix flour and sugar, melt butter add melted butter, mix, cook at 170⁰C for 12-14 mins or until edges are about to turn golden.

original post [here](https://livingthegourmet.com/2023/12/teatime-scottish-shortbread-cookies-easy-recipe.html) – Making these cookies, I realized how simple shortbread is to make! I don’t know why I haven’t made them more often! Only three ingredients and omg they are soo fabulous. Next time I’d like to dip them in chocolate 😀
