How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other cookies, shortbread has a distinctively crumbly and buttery texture due to its high butter content and minimal leavening. It is less sweet than many biscuits and has a pure, unadulterated butter flavor that sets it apart. The texture is also less crisp and more melt-in-your-mouth than a typical cookie.

This item is enjoyed by anyone who appreciates traditional baked goods and charming novelty packaging.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining shortbread fresh, close the taxi tin securely after each use. Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help maintain the cookies' texture and flavor for as long as possible.
