These shortbread fingers are ready to eat straight from the package. They are perfect for dunking into a hot beverage like tea or coffee, absorbing some of the liquid while retaining their structure.

They also make a delightful accompaniment to a cheese board, offering a sweet contrast to savory cheeses.
