The cookies are made with a high proportion of butter, which gives them their distinctive taste and mouthfeel. They are a popular choice for tea time or as a simple sweet treat. The shape is a long, rectangular finger, making them easy to hold and dunk.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining shortbread fresh, ensure the package is tightly sealed after opening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing other flavors.
