2 pack shortbread biscuits

Shortbread biscuits are a traditional Scottish baked treat known for their rich, buttery flavor and crumbly texture. They are made from a simple combination of butter, sugar, and flour, without any leavening agents like baking powder or yeast.

The dough is typically firm and pressed into shapes such as rounds, fingers, or wedges, then baked at a low temperature until pale golden. Because of the high butter content, shortbread has a delicate, melt-in-the-mouth quality rather than a crisp or airy texture.

Originating in Scotland, shortbread is often associated with special occasions, particularly Christmas and Hogmanay. It is sometimes flavored with additions like vanilla, chocolate, or a sprinkle of sugar on top, but the classic version is appreciated for its simplicity and rich taste.
