Scotch Shortbread

December 26, 2012

I have really been contemplating whether I should publish this recipe or not, but because I love to share the good, the bad and the ugly, why not? I know you will love them so I just can’t keep the recipe a secret anymore. These cookies are super simple to make, super fattening and super addicting, pretty much the perfect holiday cookie. Every December I make shortbread, magic cookie bars and fudge in mass quantities. Everyone has their favorites and many of my friends and family make reques

Scotch Shortbread

1/2 pound Nucoa margarine (old school margarine company but you can substitute for another brand if you can’t find it.)

1/2 pound butter

3 cups sifted flour (yes. you have to sift it!)

1 cup packed powder sugar (weird, I know, but just try to pack it as much as possible)

1 cup white rice flour

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (this wasn’t in my grandma’s recipe but I can’t bake a cookie without vanilla)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (started adding this last year and it makes them even better)

granulated sugar for sprinkling on top

Melt the butter and margarine in the microwave and put in the mixing bowl. Add the flours, sugar, vanilla and salt and mix until all combined. I have never mixed it by hand and suggest using a kitchen...
