These wholesale cookies are perfect for the high tea party and any kind of social gatherings. Shortbread is a crunchy traditional biscuit which was invented by a Scottish cook in 1736. They were named for their crumbly texture caused by their high fat content from the generous butter portions that give them their great flavor. The basic recipe for these biscuits is traditionally one part white sugar, to two parts butter, & three parts wheat flour. However many bakers add other ingredients like a pinch of salt and cornflour or rice flour to change the cookies texture.
