Scottish Shortbread

Instructions

• Gather all ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat butter and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
• Add 3 to 3 3/4 cups flour; mix well.
• Sprinkle board with remaining flour. Knead for 5 minutes, adding enough flour to make a soft dough.
• Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 3x1-inch strips.
• Prick shortbread cookies with a fork and place on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
