What it is

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other cookies, shortbread has a higher butter content, which gives it its characteristic crumbly texture and rich taste. It typically contains fewer ingredients than many other biscuits, focusing on the pure flavor of butter and flour. The texture is less crisp and more melt-in-your-mouth than a typical cookie.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining shortbread fingers in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve their texture and prevent them from becoming stale or losing their buttery aroma.
