Scottish Shortbread Cookies
From: PotWench
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 maragarine)
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 to 375 degrees until the stamp pattern begins to barely brown or the bottom just
barely browns, 8 to 12 minutes maybe.
