About Cookies, shortbread, commercially prepared, plain
Plain shortbread is one of the simplest cookies in existence: butter, flour, and sugar, full stop. That simplicity produces a crumbly, rich cookie with high fat from the butter and a significant refined carb load with barely any fiber or protein. Commercially prepared versions often swap some butter for shortening to improve shelf life. Despite, or because of, the stripped-down formula, well-made shortbread is hard to eat slowly.
