What it is
These are traditional Scottish shortbread cookies made with a high proportion of butter. The dough is typically formed into a round or rectangular shape and then scored before baking. The result is a rich, crumbly biscuit with a distinctly buttery flavor and a satisfyingly dense texture. They are a simple yet elegant treat, often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.

It typically contains fewer ingredients, focusing on butter, flour, and sugar, resulting in a less sweet and more pronounced buttery taste than many other biscuits.
