Scottish Shortbread

Ingredients

• 2 cups butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 4.5 cups all-purpose flour

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. Beat butter and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
4. Add 3 to 3 3/4 cups flour; mix well.
5. Sprinkle board with remaining flour. Knead for 5 minutes, adding enough flour to make a soft dough.
6. Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3×1-inch strips.
7. Prick shortbread cookies with a fork and place on ungreased baking sheets.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
