FAQ:

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
Yes, you can use salted butter, but reduce or omit the added salt in the recipe.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Allow the chilled dough to come to room temperature slightly before rolling into balls and baking.

Why do my shortbread cookies spread too much?
If the cookies spread too much, your butter might be too soft. Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to help the cookies retain their shape.

Can I add spices to the dough?
Yes! A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a dash of cardamom can be added for a unique flavor profile.
