The other shortbread recipes I have use mostly a 2:1 flour to butter and this is almost the inverse. I got them to come out at 15 minutes, still slightly wet and let them sit on the cookie sheet for another 5 minutes. They were not so much soft as they were falling apart tender and very, very thin - I think again due to too much butter, not enough flour. <br /><br />170C is about 340F, I think and most of my recipes call for 350F-375F so that isn't unreasonable, I don't think. <br /><br />Your new recipe looks more promising.Nicolehttp://www.autumn-people.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172792524617271332.post-62557453910146140612011-07-21T17:50:27.489+01:002011-07-21T17:50:27.489+01:00I hope so!

I thought gas mark 3 was crazy, but the shortbread I tried and failed to make last week was the same....and also a total failHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383582053574591384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172792524617271332.post-73615982156515401332011-07-21T16:33:47.804+01:002011-07-21T16:33:47.804+01:00I had to google what 170C was...marketing people d...I had to google what 170C was...marketing people don't need metric. That seems like a really low heat for baking to me. Though, looking at the recipe, I think those cookies are supposed to be doughy. They're practically no-bake cookies.<br /><br />The new recipe should work out better - higher temperature + thinner cookie = actually cooked cookies.kittenthunderhttp://kittenthunder.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
