Walkers Gin Infused Shortbread
What it is
This is a special type of shortbread cookie. It is made with real butter and sugar, like traditional shortbread. What makes it unique is the addition of gin. The gin is infused into the dough before baking. This gives the shortbread a subtle, aromatic flavor. The texture is still crumbly and buttery. It is a sophisticated twist on a classic biscuit.
