Alright, I made these just now. I’m pretty sure my mother used to make these, or something similar. Anyway, they were great, and I needed a reason to get rid of this strawberry jam that was too sweet/sticky for morning toast. (Thanks for yet another excuse to eat tons of butter.)

Great recipe! I just made it last night and it worked perfectly. Good solid shortbread recipe. I used unsalted butter and significantly increased the salt to compensate, and they are really tasty! Thank you!

That would make sense. The dough did get very soft. Next time I think I’ll throw the baking sheet in the fridge and put the dough back in if it gets warm. Thanks, and happy holidays to you too!

Anon – was the butter too warm, or was the cookie sheet too warm? That’s my only guess. Maybe you can put the butter in the fridge for a few minutes before adding into the dough. Happy Holidays!

So… I had a few melt when they went in the oven. I’m not kidding: it was a gooey, puddled cookie mess. They tasted fine, but I don’t know what I did wrong. Even handling the dough was messy. It was very sticky, and I had to constantly flour my hands. Any ideas?
