Many store brands lack the rich butteriness of true Scottish shortbread, ending up too gritty or pasty on the tongue, but these treats are truly authentic, handmade from a family recipe. Each one of these classic biscuits is richly buttery and tenderly textured with the perfect amount of crumblinesswith nubs of candied ginger sprinkled throughout that add zip and a touch of pleasant chew. Warming ground ginger is incorporated into the dough as well, giving it an almost gingerbread-like flavor, but stays lighter and more lively without the addition of molasses. Their sweetness is balanced with a hint of salt, while the addition of ground rice gives these cookies a delightfully light and crisp texture. Dare we say, theyre better than homemade. Theyre now available in tins designed by Australian artist Mark Canlan, known for his nature-inspired prints. Decorated with vibrant colors and flora and fauna motifs, these extra-large tins make perfect gifts or keepsakes.
