When it comes to comfort treats that have stood the test of time, Scottish shortbread cookies reign supreme. These simple yet utterly delicious treats have a rich history, an exquisite taste, and a unique charm that has captivated taste buds around the world for centuries. Let's take a journey back in time to explore the origins of Scottish shortbread cookies, the varieties that have evolved over the years, and the simple elegance of their ingredients. The origins of Scottish shortbread cookies can be traced back to medieval times in Scotland. Initially known as "biscuit bread," these delightful treats were made from leftover bread dough enriched with sugar and spices. Over time, as ingredients became more accessible, the recipe evolved into what we now recognize as shortbread.
