History & Formation of Shortbread

Shortbread originated in Scotland and was considered a luxury due to its high butter content. Traditionally, it was shaped into rounds, fingers, or petticoat tails, but today, it comes in many shapes—including these adorable heart-shaped Valentine cookies. The use of powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar gives shortbread its delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
