Earlier in the week, Karen from My Little Home and Garden made Scottish shortbread that looked so good. Normally I make mine with butter, icing sugar and flour but wanted to try something different so asked Karen if she'd share her recipe. (link to her post for it)
I had to go out and buy rice flour and fruit sugar but feel it was well worth it for the flavour. Also, after looking at a couple other recipes for Scottish shortbread, I changed Karen's ingredients of the all purpose flour to 3 cups and the rice flour to 1 cup. Mine were baked for 55 minutes.

Not being very good at freehand lines, I used a ruler to mark the squares. A number of years ago I had bought a strange looking rolling pin from Pampered Chef but thought it might be useful to roll the dough flat, it worked pretty good.
Thanks Karen for sharing your recipe and I hope everyone enjoys some shortbread this Christmas. Really, why don't we make it during the year too?

Hi Judith,

Wishing your and your family a very Merry Christmas!

That looks very good. I've never made it like that or in a round either. I do make shortbread cookies through the year as they are a favorite. I usually ice my but didn't for Christmas. The next batch will be though. Blessings, Pamela
I love shortbread, but I've never made it. We need some Christmas cookies here so perhaps I'll give this a try!
Hugs, Beth
Her recipe sounds really good. I made my shortbread over the weekend so I'll have to try this new one another time. And yes, I can eat shortbread any time.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Very Happy Christmas, Judith! And may the New Year bring good health and many blessings your way.
Hugs,

Shortbread is my favorite cookie and I have never made it. But think I may just give it a try. I eat it all year around and like it with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Stella
Hello, Judith
Your shortbread certainly looks tasty! I can just picture you serving some on one of your pretty china plates with a nice pot of tea!
A hug is sent your way,

I love shortbread but I don't make it. I would want to eat it all right away. Merry Christmas!

Oh, my mouth is just watering for shortbread. It is so wonderful. I am sure the addition of the rice flour makes it amazing.
One question - what is fruit sugar?! Have a wonderful Christmas!
