Shortbread Bites - The Kitchen Magpie

Shortbread bites are little individual bites of buttery goodness. They are the same recipe I came up with for my Classic Scottish Shortbread but using a different method to make them into little thick squares that are individually decorated. They are a more classy and simple way of baking up shortbread, eschewing the need to fiddle around with cutting out trees and stars.

Shortbread Bites

1 cup of butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup icing sugar
2 cups of flour

Kick the tires and light the fires to 325 degrees

Cream together your butter and brown sugar, making sure that there are no lumps in your brown sugar.
Add in the icing sugar and combine.
Add in the salt and flour slowly, with the mixer on low – this is not whipped shortbread after all- until the dough is completely mixed together.
Pat the cookie dough into an 8×8 wax paper/parchment paper lined pan.
Place in your freezer for 15-20 minutes.
