It is a simple but delicious cookie recipe. They are crumbly and buttery, our favorite is to use raspberry jelly but you can always experiment with whatever suits you best.
The secret that makes this crumbly butter shortbread dough is simply the order in which you mix the ingredients, by letting the butter bind to the sugar first and adding the flour later. For best results, keep the butter and eggs at room temperature for a few hours before starting.
