These shortbread are great to use for gifting or to have on hand to serve guests through the festive season. If you like a plain shortbread, just skip the add-ins and dust with some sugar prior to baking. This makes a huge quantity but the dough freezes well if you don’t want to cook the whole batch in one hit.
