These shortbread biscuits are ready to eat straight from the package. They are ideal for a quick snack or to accompany a hot beverage like tea or coffee.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or moisture, which can affect their texture and flavor. Properly stored, they will retain their crispness and buttery aroma for several days.
