Help!! My dough is not coming together. Not sure what I did but it’s like a dry mess. Should I add some more butter? Followed recipe as directed.

Fantastic crispness! I fought a little bit with the dough – added too much flour and added more melted butter (quicker to integrate into the dough). I eventually won though! They taste amazing!

I too, am going to try this! Sounds so simple to make, yet absolutely delicious! Might add some chopped pecans to it! Thanks for posting this recipe!

Hey, wanna swap great-grannies? She’s a genius! I loved the texture and butteriness of the cookie. In fact, I just made them today, and they were a hit! Thanks to you and your great-grandma.

I like this recipe. I modified it slightly by adding a little bit of lemon juice, and instead of rolling the dough I made balls and then pressed them with the bottom of a glass.

These are excellent. Exactly what I was looking for – a simple and delicious shortbread recipe. The first time I made them I made them as written. The second time I added too much flour so I sprinkled in some lemon juice to get the dough back to the right consistency. That was a happy accident as they were very, very good with the addition of a little lemon flavor.
