Finally someone that makes the real thing. Thank you so much.
Thanks Annie..appreciate the kind words. Thanks for tuning in.
I feel the same way. This feels ancestral. Sorry for that but it's the only way to describe it.
@@AnnieGardner-if4wx I just replied above that I'm really searching for that certain shortbread... and I just got the coconut sugar I ordered. I'm still trying to figure out why almost all shortbread recipes have about 3 ingredients and would your recipe be modified to be more sugar cookie like. Would you know anything about the history to help me sort that out?
I'm Scottish and the icing sugar is what we used. No cornflour was ever added to the mixture. I put the butter in the freezer and then grate it into the flour. Just a wee tip for you and its less messy. ❤
Love it! I'll give that a try..anything to be less messy lol. Thanks for tuning in
Grate my butter for my biscuits also with the cold butter GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE 😀
What a straight forward woman , some of these other bakers can’t make a video that gets straight to the point, to save their lives
thanks so much..I am happy you enjoyed the video.
Love to watch you cook/bake; you're very "real."
Was that a pound of salted butter? I ask since there was no other salt in recipe. Thanks!
I have a copy of my great great grans recipe from Scotland 1870-this is exactly the same recipe that's been in our family for generations! Everyone I've ever gifted these shortbread cookies has asked for the recipe and are shocked to find its so simple.
no way wow that's fantastic. thanks so much for this. I had a couple of people tell me that this recipe is no way Scottish. I'm happy it is!!! Thanks for watching.
One cookie is never enough.....
@@cheekypiper512 never!
Can you use powdered sugar for icing sugar?
@@laquitapyeatt962 our icing sugar in Canada is made with powdered sugar and cornstarch. I've used 1 cup very fine sugar and 1/3 cup of cornstarch when i've run out of icing sugar.
I love the “forget the mess” ! Those minimalist people that never do anything so they don’t have a mess, don’t know how to live !!!
Exactly! I'm a mess in the kitchen and I live it everyday lol..thanks for tuning in
I like that they aren't overly sweet.
thanks for tuning in
You are so real. That’s what most real kitchen workspaces look like, with dishes and utensils and flour everywhere! No birds singing or harps playing. No perfectly matched new everything!!!! lol. Thank you! And wonderful cookies by the way!!
Thank you Donita that is so kind of you to say. My kitchen is certainly a "real" kitchen. You don't need professional anything to make good food. Thanks for tuning in.
@@origmainstmama2455 thanks you so much so kind of you. We are having so much fun in our kitchen making these recipes. I will definitely try the addition. All the best this holiday season to you and everyone in Oregon.
I don't sift the flour
Makin shortbread 😊
My family claim my cookies
ARE DECADENT.
My Mom used to make these exactly the same way but she decorated them with red and green glazed cherries and used different cutter shapes for something different. I make it like my Mom did. ❤😊😊
This is the same recipe I have, given to me 53 yrs ago by our Scottish Pastor's wife! She was aghast that I didn't know about measuring in grams. She rewrote it for me in cups and wouldn't promise me that it would turn out as good!! I have wished all these years that I had the gram measurements and now I do!! And yes, it is the best shortbread recipe ever! Thankyou thankyou!
Hi, I am so happy you love this recipe. It's our favourite. Happy holidays and thanks for tuning in
I'm a child of the '70s and this brought back memories. Grandma and my Mother use to cut up maraschino cherries out of a jar and place a tiny piece on the top of each cookie. I still have the round copper cookie cutter with the fluted edge she would use.
ah nice memories. I remember when my kids were little little they would put the cherries on top, too. The smell in the house alway evoked memories for us. Have a happy holiday and thanks for tuning in.
My Mom alway put a cherry chip on each so I always do too! Have a Merry Christmas !!!
Merry Christmas Lorraine and thanks for watching@@lorraine5083
Same recipe as I use, here in Rural Scotland.
I roll mine into a Sausage and slice them.
Patricia 🏴🏴🏴💕
Hi Patty, that's a great tip..I'm going to try that.. thanks for tuning in
Hmm 😊 interesting ❤
Thank you will try the sausage method n have round cookies instead of rectangles
These work very well in a food processor. It only takes about a minute and you dont need worry about getting tough because no needing required. Usually we prick all over the shortbread with a fork to allow heat to penetrate. They are usually chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes or fridge for 30 minutes so as not to spread to much in the oven. As soon as they come out of the oven we cover the shortbread with Caster Sugar and let cool. Not sure what caster is were you are but it is finer than granulated but not as fine as icing Sugar. Sometimes you can put a teaspoon of jam on one biscuit and top it with another the a litte topping of water icing. These are called Empire Biscuits and are delicious. Ronnie from Scotland
the fork piercing is a great idea and I made some shortbread recently and used the food processor. Thanks for tuning in.
If you cannot find caster sugar, you take regular granulated sugar and pulse it for 20 seconds or so in a clean electric spice or coffee mill and you will get the consistency of caster sugar.
A real baker or cook never had processors. We do everything by scratch and with love. You need to feel the texture and moisture of baking when kneeding. Newer generations are lazy and can't survive in a power outage not how to cook and bake without a modern oven.
Made these today February 2 2025 very good … added orange extract to some,raspberry extract to some and then dipped half in chocolate and some I left plain… these are real good!
Hi Maria..that sounds divine, these cookies are the perfect vehicle to add different flavours. Thanks for this and thanks for tuning in.
My grandmother, who came from England and was born in the late 1880's taught me to make the same recipe when I was a little girl and am 63 today and am still baking this recipe
So lovely..thanks for tuning in.
Do you use salted or unsalted butter? ❤
@@irenemagill4890 unsalted
My late husbsnd and his first wofe were Scottish and I was blessed with thier recipie, but lossed it, searched the internet and found nothing like theirs until I came to your recipie ... the exact one!! Thank you, my long search paid off.
That's so lovely, thank you for commenting, and thanks for tuning in.
Was that 2cups of flour
add a 4th ingredient, sprinkle with light brown granulated sugar when you take them out to rest. they go from amazing to outstanding. or sandwich 2 together with raspberry jelly/jam and top with melted icing with a jelly tot on top for a delicious traditional Scottish "empire biscuit"
Thanks I love this idea. The holidays are coming up and I will surely do a batch like this.
That's how my mother used to make them and so do i❤
One cookie is NEVER enough!
isn't that the truth? haha Thanks for tuning in Frances
I am no baker. I cook. Watching the flour and bowls everywhere makes me a little frazzled. So when you said "forget the mess", it was speaking directly to my OCD little heart.
OMG that's funny. I hate the mess too..I try, I really do, but no matter what, I make a mess. Thanks for tuning in.
I have a Scottish shortbread recipe. My recipe calls for sifting 13 times. Fortunately I found a 3 level sifter. And only sift 4 times. My Grandfather and his siblings migrated here from Coates, Scotland. Most favorite Cooke at Christmas. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hi Carol..thanks for watching. Would you share your recipe with me? It sounds interesting. What kind of sugar does it say to use?
I lived in Scottish highlands in the 80’s. Most houses did not have central heating even at that time. Therefore, in the old days the Scots did not need to refrigerate their shortbread because their rooms are far cooler than the average American room. I always place mine in the fridge before slicing.
Thanks for that, I love the history. Thanks for tuning in
I do the same..place it in the fridge before slicing🎉
I just love your honesty by giving credit to the people you got the recipe from. Well presented.
that's nice of you to say thank you so much. Thanks for tuning in.
I love ur receipe making. Lovely
Thank you
I make shortbread cookies every year...I used to use my hands to blend everything together.....now I use the low mix cycle on my Kitchen Aid mixer for almost 2 minutes and then mix with my hands...They turn out absolutely DELICIOUS!
I also add 1/2 tps. salt to my recipe.
yep low cycle is the key and no overworking of the dough. Salt rounds out the flavours and is a strengthening agent. Thanks for tuning in
Love this. Have never made a shortbread that rivaled my moms but this recipe was stress free and they are delicious.
Hi MaryLou..I am so happy you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much for commenting and for tuning in. Happy holidays.
What is your mom's recipe, do you mind sharing?
I would love to try it! I am a shortbread fanatic!
These are my mothers favorite cookies her mother used to make them for her when she was a little girl my mother just passed away in 2020 and this is what I made for her last birthday present and mother was born in 1921 and her mother was born 40 years earlier so I am sure this is the same recipe my grandmother and my mother grew up with thank you again for the simplicity of four cups one cup and 1 pound
Thank you Mothers birthday was December 16 and so I’d always fixes something she loved and she got to go to paradise on my father’s birthday and that was January 30 and expecting You’re blessing this year go beyond your expectations and air and dream your biggest dream you could have a dream and just say thank you Lord praise your holy name
thank you and thanks for tuning in
Loved the bit at about 7 1/2 mins in, “let me show you the cracks”. Our family recipe (I am at least 2nd if not 3rd or more generation to have it; not sure) is almost identical and says, “Turn out of bowl onto floured surface and knead briefly, adding more flour if needed until dough cracks at the edges”. Yours is the first time I have ever seen a similar instruction. Wonderful reality check! When we passed recipe on to our sons and daughters in law, they waited until I could visit and demonstrate. Now I could have just sent your excellent video!
Thanks so much for the kind words Linda. Say hi to the kids for me lol..Thanks for tuning in
My version of fruit sugar is to put granulated sugar in a blender or processor, give it a whirl until it becomes very fine but not powder. Thanks for sharing the recipe and demonstration of kneading to the cracking stage.
great tip thanks so much and thanks for tuning in
😂😂😂 by far my favourite cooking video thingamabob. I love your authenticity.
Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Hello South Africa...so lovely to have you join me. Thank you for your kind words and especially for tuning in.
Lovly cookies hav to try thank u
thanks for tuning in
Hi there, I really like your butter tart recipe as well 😊🤗
thanks Teresa..yes the butter tart recipe is among our favs. Thanks for tuning in and happy holidays.
My grandpa came from Scotland too and my mother taught me to make these when I was young. We used a drinking glass to cut them out and keep them round. They were a big favourite but I had forgotten them for the last 50 years. I am going to make some again because I remember how delicious they were. Thank you for the recipe and reminder. Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Cheryle, Yes i've used drinking glasses too. I am so happy I was a small part of you remembering shortbread from your youth. Enjoy from Canada
My mother always made them round too.. but a 2-bite size AND she covered them with butter icing then top it of with red n some green cherries (halved) OMG. What a pretty XMAS sight.
@The Messy Cook by Dale I made a half recipe as an experiment. I sifted the flour and powdered sugar together then added the softened butter. I used my dough hook and let it do the work of my hands. They came out perfectly.
Excellent recipe! I just made 1/4 of the recipe using the grams weight you listed and it was perfect . This is the real deal! Thank you! 😊
Thanks Melissa. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for tuning in.
I saw the picture of these cookies and was intrigued by how you made them so round and wavy. I have the exact same recipe but I usually mix them by hand and roll them into balls and place on a cookie sheet and flatten them with a fork then bake them at 300 degrees for 30 minutes until lightly brown on the bottom. Best shortbread ever. Next year I may try them your way. And you are right - one year I tried using a mixer and they were very tough and I even wrote right on the recipe DO NO USE MIXER I used to make more than ten kinds of Christmas cookies but now that I am almost 80 my husband only wanted me to make shortbread and he would make Lep cookies - a Menonite cookie made with almonds and molasses that only he and I like in our family. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hi Myrtle..thank you for your kind words. Merry Christmas to you as well..all the best
I loved the recepie
thanks so much and thanks for tuning in
Thanks for the video. I mix my dough in a food processor and the cookies comes out just great!
that's great..I'm happy they turned out. Thanks for watching the video.
What blade do you use on your food processor?
@@rebeccadees2300 when i use it I use the dough paddle
Love shortbread! - thank you for sharing ♥️
thank you for tuning in have a great holiday
Thank you so much for sharing they sound delicious , I never have much luck with shortbread but you made it look so simple ! I always like to make shortbread for Christmas so I’ll definitely give them a try this year ! Merry Christmas 🎄 from Australia !🇦🇺 🎉🎉
Hi Janet..yes they are super simple to make and sooo good. Baking times vary..I made some larger ones for giveaways and they took almost 20 minutes to get a slight golden on the bottoms. They are best just barely set. thanks for tuning in and happy holidays to you and yours from Canada.
I made these as instructed and could barely wait for them to cool! Best recipe ever. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.
Thanks Patricia..aren't they easy peasy? So yummy and rich. I am really happy you made them. Marry christmas
I don’t have to taste these cookies from the moment you said 3 ingredients I already knew this would be the best shortbread ever. Merry Christmas God Bless tomorrow is my baking day for the holidays and your cookies are on my list. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Sharina..I hope you like them they are yummy. thanks for watching!
What do you want me to say l didn't see anything yet and left don't know what they look like
@@katypafitis ok
I'm a sifter too ❤️. Thanks for sharing this
thanks for tuning in!
I use a small.glass pie plate, flute the edges, and Pierce the dough with a fork. Fluted edges I'm told are that of angels
lovely..thanks for tuning in
This Shortbread is the easiest recipe I’ve ever seen for Scotch Shortbread. It looks great and I am about to try it out. I used to make it in a 8” round cake tin. I have a wooden mould of a thistle and flowers 12:13 and this was pressed into the tin to give it a nice pattern on top. It can then be taken out and sliced into small triangles. I’ll try this at the weekend. Thank you so much from a Scottish Lady x
Hello Kay..thanks so much for tuning in. I love making this shortbread recipe and I've used molds often. I love the idea of a wooden thistle and flower mold. I must try to find one for next time. Do you have a favourite shortbread recipe I can try?
Wow I really love your cookies thank you for sharing this delicious recipe God bless you all the time
thank you that was very kind..thanks for tuning in
Nice to meet another messy cook 😉👍
Nice to meet you as well. Messy is ok it makes for great food. lol thanks for tuning in

Great..they are easy peasy to make and tastes so delish. Thanks for tuning in.
Have fun and thanks for tuning in
Looks delicious and simple here in Stirling Scotland I will have to convert the American cup to ounces and temp to C° but looks so easy must do this thanks recipe coming home again to Scotland on the web lol
Hi Carol..i added the metric measurements in the description box. I love Stirling..we visited several years ago. The most beautiful country side. Thanks for tuning in.
@@themessycookbydale414 many thanks for that I will save it n try very soon ❤️
So funny and witty and lovely!😊
thank you Maryann that's so kind of you. thanks so much fro tuning in
I knew it! When I heard you say "aboot" instead of about, I knew you were Canadian! I'm almost Canadian in Minnesota "don't cha know". GREAT RECIPE! I'm always looking for a simple recipe for my sweet tooth.

Great great grandma’s shortbread went together like nothing! Going to make more tomorrow. I am 76 years young and just learned about dough cracking and they ready to cut out. Merry Christmas to you and family!😘
Thanks Valerie..Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. These cookies are a family favourite. Thanks for tuning in
Can't wait to try your cookies. Thank hubby for doing a good job on the camera.
hi Susan..he will love to hear that. haha thanks for tuning in
My mother’s recipe is 3 ingredients. Butter, plain flour and caster sugar.
She made shortbread every New Year. I am Scottish and live in Scotland and I have never known anyone to use icing sugar in their shortbread.
Her recipe: 500g plain flour, 250g butter, 125g caster sugar.
She used her hands but I use a stand mixer to bring all the ingredients together then tip onto the counter and knead by hand.
Shaped into side plate sized rounds, 1cm thick, cut into triangles then forked, transferred to a baking tray
then baked at 140C for 1 hr. sprinkled with caster sugar when taken out of the oven. 🏴🏴
Great recipe I will give it a try for sure. Umm sounds delish. Thanks for tuning in
Thank you, thank you, I made them last night. They are the BEST.....
I am so happy Roberta..they are so delish, aren't they.thanks for tuning in.

Thanks Lorraine..i hope you like them..all the best to you as well.
Thanks for sharing I watching your video so great God bless you more
thank you so much and thank you for tuning in
I had no idea shortbread involved all that kneading. I do love a good shortbread cookie. Thanks for sharing the process. It's good to know the simplicity of the ingredients - easy to remember.
thanks for tuning in. You just knead until the dough cracks a bit of a process but not as bad as kneading bread.
Great tip about kneading only until you see the cracks. I over-kneaded a batch last week thinking more kneading will lead to a better result. Not true. The result was quite chewy. I wish I’d seen your clip beforehand!
omg I just finished making these, they are so good, thank you for this recipe and super easy to make i halved the recipe but next time i will make full recipe❤
Thanks Pamela. I am so happy you made these. It's one of my families favourites. Enjoy and thanks for tuning in
I just read through at least 50 of the comments and did not see this info sooo: Bulk Barn 🇨🇦sells fruit sugar AKA Berry sugar AKA caster sugar near the bins of regular granulated white sugar. It is at least twice as expensive as regular granulated, though! Sooo, you can make your own by blitzing/pulsing regular granulated about 29-30 seconds in a processor. I’m on a quest to make a shortbread with the texture of Walkers. Perhaps this kneaded dough will be ‘it’! Thanks for your excellent demo and tips!
Thanks for the Bulk Barn tip and the make it yourself tip I'll check them out. I hope you like the shortbreads it's my family's favourite. So rich and delish. Thanks for getting in touch and thanks for tuning in.
These look sooooo DELICIOUS!!! I cannot wait to try to make these tonight.
Thank You for sharing this wonderful recipe with Us.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 😊❤️👍🏼👋🏼😋YUM!!!
enjoy them and thanks for tuning in
The most beautiful shortbread cookies I have ever seen! El Perfecto! And easy to make. Gonna do it.
Great! Have fun and they are delish..thanks for tuning it
Very light and nutritious biscuits
This is my,faverite cookie...I love it by it's self.
so good right? Thanks for tuning in
I think this is very similar to my grandmother's recipe from the turn of the century (1900s) which I have been looking for! Thank you!
that''s great Wendi..thanks so much for tuning i n.
Kiaora Dale from New Zealand. This is the first time I've heard someone say that they didn't have fridges in those days. I love shortbread cookies, but that used to put me off so I always bought them. Now I'm definitely going to make this recipe because of the 3 ingredients. Thanks so much for sharing, wish me luck.
Hi Kamau, i made the fridge comment as a side bar, I really don't know if they had fridges or not haha.Yes please try this recipe. They are worth the work. And good luck..let me know how they turn out.
@@themessycookbydale414 Dale they had 'Ice Houses' and Sieves even in the Olde Days.
I have Mid 1700s Shortbread Presses, (Wooden) Thistle Patterns, Sieves, and Butter Paddles... from an Edinburgh Antique Store.
We were more Modern than those on the Mayflower left us were ! 🙄
good luck let me know how you like them.
@@ME_MeAndMyBees thanks for the info. love love Edinburgh. We went for Edinburgh's Hogmanay a few years ago. My husband is from a MacDonald and Chisholm line. I am from a Hayes line
My mother made these regularly .....she said that any recipe that has a lot of butter in it should be left to mature for a week or two ......i do that and the flavour gets better and better! I am 70 yrs old and my family still enjoys the same recipe. Loved your video and your attitude 😊
Thanks Melene. Great tip. I've been making this recipe for years. I'm 73 and it's still a family fav. Thanks for tuning in .
Wonderful demonstration.
thanks you!
This is funny: I thought I was the only one who did it with just 3 ingredients and my hands. I roll it into a log, and then cut the log. I do sort of those fork holes on the top, but I guess, judging from you, that isn't necessary. Fun to watch you do it. These are my favorite cookies (although I like rum balls and springerles, too).
Thanks Mark..hands are the best kitchen tools. Happy holidays thanks for tuning in
Thank you for making this video! I think I have just bought my last box of store shortbread cookies! Can’t wait to make these!
yes these cookies are so easy and delish. They freeze really well so making a big batch is a good thing.😉
Your saying Cookie Cookies !
Shortbread is a Cookie in itself. Just saying from Scotland 🏴
For those in the USA its just Shortbread. 😎
Proper Scottish Recipe is :
White Sugar (not Frosting Sugar !) Plain Flour, and Unsalted Butter. That's it !
Rub in Sugar, Butter and Flour together. Combine until it all comes together and doesn't fall apart. DONT knead it... it will make it tough (if so add more Flour and turn it into Pastry !)
Chill for x2 Hrs well wrapped.
Flour a Surface, Roll out with a Rolling Pin. Cut into Fingers (thin Bars) or Pettitecoat (a Large Circle, marked into equal Triangles.) Get a Eating Fork, use the x4 Tines to Poke x4 Hole Patterns all over. This aides the Baking Process (it should not Rise. But bake Flat and even !) Take out of Oven, dusting with White Sugar. Allow Shortbread to Cool a little, cut apart pieces while Warm (not cold or it breaks when cutting apart.) Cool and Store on Greaseproof Paper in a Biscuit (Cookie) Storage Tin.
Simples. Enjoy. 😎
Ideal for Hogmanay our name for Scottish New Year ! 🥳
I'm in Canada but noted thanks. I am going to try your recipe..thanks for sharing. Happy holidays.

You are the first person I've heard that uses fruit sugar and yes it is very hard to find anymore but last year I bought enough to go a couple of Christmases. No machines..yes. I got the recipe passed to me from my grandmother years ago. It is the best I ever tasted. I haven't tried icing sugar but will if I can't find fruit sugar. Thank you so much for the connection❤
Yes fruit sugar is so hard to find so in a pinch I use the powdered/icing sugar and they turn out pretty much the same. Let's face it, though, it's all about the butter lol. Thanks for tuning in
I made these today they melt in your month. Again thanks for sharing.
thanks for tuning in and trying them...I appreciate the support
I just made these. Maybe my butter wasn't Cold enough but my dough was quite sticky and stuck all over my hands. I added a little more flour and it became workable. Delicious in the end.
Hey Bob, that's great..so much depends on the temperature of the ingredients and the kitchen temperature. Baking can be a challenge. Thanks for watching
I like the low sugar. Thanks for sharing.

Looking for a good shortbread cookie recipe. Yours looks yummy ❤ Thank you for sharing.
Btw looked at the comments after watching & honestly couldn’t believe the critique and criticism from ppl. Seriously to all those critical ppl-(old saying) If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all. This women shared a great shortbread recipe with us.. take it In the spirit it was given.. with hopes you’d all enjoy it too. ❤ Btw I loved it Happy Holidays 🎄

@@themessycookbydale414 ❤️ keep showing us your great recipes okay. Don’t let ugliness from ppl keep you from doing something you enjoy doing. Honestly the negative comments say more about the ppl giving them than the person they are meant for. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there & share with a bunch of strangers. Keep doing what your doing & ignore the negativity. Much love to you and you family. Happy Holidays 🎄🎅🏻☃️

I LOVE shortbread cookies. I've never heard of fruit sugar. I think I could dress them up for Christmas by dipping part way into melted chocolate a day then sprinkles.
