Thanks this really is very easy and IS the best shortbread recipe!  I added Smarties right at the end to keep my 5 year old happy.  Thanks for sharing.

I use this pretty shortbread mould from Lakeland for mine. It always turns out well and nice if its for something special

I have used the same recipe for shortie for years and always thought they were pretty darn good - until I tried this one last night, they are gorgeous and crumbly and smooth - yum yum.  I had made them for the inlaws visiting this week but may have to make another batch ha ha

I've just registered so I can say 'thanks' for this fantastic recipe - really truly as easy as it claims and tastes superb !!   

Any tips on quantities for (e.g.) raisins or choc chips and what stage to add them at? 

Thanks again, recipe is great

Thanks for a great recipe, I can see Im going to have to learn self control or yes I will be getting fat! Highly recommend, I do a lot of baking and this is one of my favourite recipes for simplicity with a fab result.

Dear Sirs,
 I wish to complain about this recipe, you claim about them keeping ( in a plastic bag then in tin ) is false, I made a batch last evening , allowed them to cool, placed in bag and tin, . this morning there were only a few crumbs left in the bottom of the bag.........and a guilty look from the others. how do you account for this?

I made it yesterday. I've got one of those shortbread moulds from Lakeland. The quantity given filled it but it was abit thick so the outside was cooked before the middle. It was yummy though. Hey ho, just have to keep making it until I get it right 

It's so good though, it's going to be promoted to the main TAS site as well as on the forums.

Really fancy the lemon and white chocolate one

I've tried it a couple of times and a couple of ways - definately easier to roll it into a sausage, coat in demerara sugar and chill in the fridge before cutting into slices. Plus I can make a fat sausage for adult sized biccies and a skinny one for the kids

I have tried so many shortbread recipes but they all tasted like pastry!  This is different - even I got it to work.  Thank you so much!

I've used a slightly different recipe in years past - but apart from that, what always seems to be very popular is making it two coloured: mix half of it with a tablespoon or two of cocoa, and a little liquid to blend it in; then form thin rolls and wind two (one of each colour) together before coating them in sugar and chilling. And then slice it...

The number of times I get asked how I get the two colours together!  And it's so easy... I also usually put some grated orange rind in it - then it's chocolate and orange flavour.
