The History of Shortbread

In the United States, National Shortbread Day is celebrated on January 6. This date was chosen because it is the same day that Ruth Wakefield, the inventor of the chocolate chip cookie, was born.

Shortbread originated in Scotland, and its name comes from the fact that it is made with shortening (aka butter), which makes it crumbly. Shortbread has been around for centuries, and there are many different theories about its origins. One popular theory is that it was created by medieval bakers who wanted to make a biscuit that would last longer than bread. Another theory is that it was created by Mary, Queen of Scots, who loved shortbread so much that she had her own personal shortbread recipe.

Whatever its origins, shortbread has become a popular treat in the United States, especially around the holidays. If you’re looking for a delicious and easy-to-make shortbread recipe, look no further!

How to Make Shortbread

To make shortbread, you will need:

1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup of sugar
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the flour and salt, mix until well combined.
4. The dough will be crumbly, but if you work it with your hands it will come together.
5. Place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Using a fork, press the dough evenly into the pan. Be sure to dock (poke holes in) the dough so that it doesn’t puff up while baking.
6. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
7 . Let cool completely before cutting into squares or triangles
