Hey everyone! I’m on a quest to make some killer shortbread. Does anyone have a secret ingredient or technique they swear by? Really want to nail this recipe!

Yo, the trick is a lil' cornstarch in the dough for that melt-in-your-mouth vibe Appreciate any other tips, y'all!

My go-to technique is to chill the dough after mixing. I put it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the shortbread hold its shape during baking and results in a tender texture.

Adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking can really enhance the flavor. Just a little makes the sweetness pop!

Use high-quality butter and don’t overmix the dough to keep your shortbread perfectly tender and crumbly.
