Here's the recipe from my Aunt which has been made for over 60 years and is a family favourite which has been passed on and on and on. It's one great shortbread!:
Aunty Doe's Shortbread

1/2 lb salted butter - softened to room temperature
1/2 cup sifted icing sugar (confectioner's sugar)
2 cups flour

Mix butter and icing sugar, then add flour, mixing by hand.
Form into a brick shape...if necessary put in fridge to cool, then slice into thick rectangles.
(Slice thickly from the end of the "brick" and then slice each one again so the pieces come out at around 1" x 2" (2.5 cm x 5 cm) and about 3/4 inch thick. She liked to put a small dot of either red or green glace cherry in the middle of each.)

Bake on parchment lined cookie sheet at 275F for one hour.

This is the best stuff..I make it for the teachers a few times a year..the most popular ones are the ones dipped half way in bittersweet chocolate.

I sometimes decorate them with "Wilton" style buttercream too.

THANK YOU! Have copied and pasted, twice, just in case!
