My boyfriend said to me one day, had I tried the square chocolate chip shortbread that you get from Tesco. I said no I hadn’t but is that what he wanted me to make next? He was like that is a great idea, I cannot wait to try some.
I love shortbread but I’m defiantly more of a traditional shortbread kind of girl but am willing to try different shortbread. I used a 7cm square cookie cutter on these shortbread but use whatever cutter you want because they are your shortbread.
I will openly admit that these might be my new favourite shortbread as they did smell amazing when they were cooking. They were super tasty, and everyone really enjoyed them.
