Shortbread recipes are a wonderful starting point for all kinds of sweet adventures. You can top it with some jam; add some flavor to it by adding almond or vanilla extract, even a little cardamom, or both! If you are a chocolate lover, then melt some chocolate on top. If you want to put cookie icing on top, we have included that recipe for you as well. You can always leave it alone since our shortbread recipe can stand on its own in perfect simplicity and our shortbread recipe is already mildly sweet! Isn’t it totally nice to have tons of options for our shortbread cookie recipe? We certainly think so!
We believe our shortbread recipe is terrific because of our freshly milled soft white wheat berries. We mill our wheat berries in our WonderMill on the pastry setting. The flour you mill for this shortbread cookie recipe will be light and fluffy. In fact, we encourage you to mill the wheat berries and then slowly run a spoon through the flour gently lifting and lowering it adding a little more air.
The most difficult part of our shortbread cookie recipe is waiting for this delightfully light-gold, crisp/flaky shortbread to bake.

This are my go to dessert base. Thickness is what you want. My favorite recipe is shortbread dough in the pan line with parchment paper so you can lift it out. Then press about 2 ounces of dark chocolate cookies int the shortbread dough. Then you have a decision at this point as you glop and spread jam over the dough and chocolate chips with jam that you have a similar fruit to put on top. Then more chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until done.

What size baking pan, and how thick should the batter be once in the pan?

Shortbread was fabulous without icing. My co-worker ate it with the vegan Irish stew.
