Crispy cookies

Description

Shortbread cookies are delicate, buttery baked goods with a golden hue and a crumbly texture that pleasantly melts in your mouth. The flavor is subtly sweet with a distinct hint of butter and possible additions such as vanilla, citrus zest, or chopped nuts. Nutritionally, shortbread cookies are a concentrated source of energy: they are high in carbohydrates and fats, contain a moderate amount of protein, and small amounts of vitamins and minerals from the flour and additives. In whole grain or nut versions, they provide more fiber and healthy fats, making them worth consuming in moderation as a quick fuel between meals. Shortbread cookies pair perfectly with coffee, tea, ice cream, and desserts; they can also be crumbled as a base for cakes and tarts. They should be stored in an airtight container in a dry, cool place for about a week, and can be frozen, tightly wrapped, for 2–3 months for longer storage.
