I have to agree about that snap factor - as soon as I heard it I was in heaven. But I have a question. Even though I followed your recipe exactly, I had trouble when it came to cutting. The cookies cracked and crumbled quite a bit. I'd say twenty five percent of my cookies shattered. I was using a pizza cutter. I wasn't being very forceful. Might you know why this happened and how I could avoid it next time? Thanks! Great recipe! I have to agree about that snap factor – as soon as I heard it I was in heaven.

However, I was told that RICE FLOUR is the secret to a perfect shortbread. Made some last week using Rice Flour and it turnout out delicious so I must try your recipe Allen for a comparative analysis and will report back. Allen, your tips says dough not suitable for cutting shapes. I am however looking for a shortbread recipe you can make Chrissy shapes out of so I can give them at Christmas, any idea on improvising your recipe so they can be shaped, or perhaps someone out there can give me a recipe as good as Allens but that the dough can be shaped? BTW - you are so funny - loved reading your feature it was so entertaining and hope your back is far better. Have a wonderful Christmas. I have a website about to be activated so will let you know when it is up and running. I am still searching for a really good shortbread recipe and this one seems to be it so will give it a shot.

I found that the longer these sit, say a couple of days, the crisper and better tasting they are. Thanks for the recipe! These are wonderful.

Perhaps it's a Canadian thing... This is actually the shortbread recipe printed on the side of the box of cornstarch you buy in the supermarket – it’s traditional shortbread for my family, anyway.
