My shortbread dough’s turned out too soft—what should I do?

Help needed! My shortbread dough is way too soft. Has anyone faced this before? What’s the best fix without starting over?

I’d suggest letting the dough chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. It might make rolling easier.

No worries! If your shortbread dough is too soft, pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to work with. Happy baking!

Don't panic! Just pop that soft shortbread dough in the fridge for a good chill before rolling it out. It'll firm up and be easier to work with!
