First step. Waiting for my butter to soften.

Now I must wait while the dough chills in the fridge.

First you wait for the hard butter to get soft, then you wait for the soft butter to get hard. It's a funny ol' thing, this life we live.

Then, after it gets hard again, I use a roller to apply enough kinetic energy for it to soften again.

Oh my! You mean the good kind of biscuits!

Love shortbread

Those are indeed shortbreads. Well done.

I'm going to make a longbread one day.

Sometime I'll have to make this which is a lot healthier, for me anyway since I have to use almond flour. Been wanting shortbread. Will leave out the pecans though.

If you're concerned about how healthy cookies are, you're probably doing something wrong.

Looks good. I have an aunt that can't have gluten or dairy or nuts. So I'm going to try making these using a gluten free flour and lactose free butter to see how they turn out. I'll have to double check on the butter. I know she doesn't use margarine but has an expensive butter substitute she uses.

Her dietary restrictions are several pages long and some she can have on occasion and some she can't have at all and it's hard to keep it straight, so I'm always looking for recipes that can be altered for her.

It's just butter, flour, and a little sugar. I'm sure it's fine.

Thanks. They're delicious! I didn't have any chocolate to melt for them so tried both a chocolate and vanilla glaze but it didn't really add anything to the taste. They are good without it though.

Is there a bad kind of biscuit?

Well, they're not bad, but i was figuring it was the American biscuit for a moment there. You know, the dry, bread thing you have with dinner or covered with sausage gravy for breakfast

Gluten allergy.

Gluten allergy.

That's not being concerned about their nutritional content (what's usually meant by "how healthy X is"), that's being concerned about toxicity.

"for me anyway since I have to use almond flour."

Their past posts about food have generally indicated that they avoid carbs for nutritional reasons, not due to celiac or another allergy. It's pretty reasonable to assume that that's the case here as well.
