Many store brands lack the rich butteriness of true Scottish shortbread, ending up too gritty or pasty on the tongue, but these treats are truly authentic, handmade from a family recipe. Each one of these classic biscuits is richly buttery and tenderly textured with the perfect amount of crumbliness—and incorporates the pulp of Sicilian lemons (a zesty, less acidic citrus varietal) and lemon oil for bright notes. The lemony shortbread is tender and just sweet enough. It reminds us of a perfect glass of lemonade—sweet and sunny, without too much tang. The tartness is balanced with a hint of salt, while the addition of ground rice gives these cookies a delightfully light and crisp texture. Dare we say, they’re better than homemade. They’re now available in tins designed by Australian artist Mark Canlan, known for his nature-inspired prints. Decorated with vibrant colors and flora and fauna motifs, these extra-large tins make perfect gifts or keepsakes.

How to Use: Each one of these shortbreads are made in small batches from a treasured recipe passed down through generations of bakers. Plus, they’re baked to order, so freshness is never compromised. Pair these treats with a cup of tea or glass of port or other fortified wine. Or use them as a unique addition to a cheese board—we love how the biscuit’s salty sweetness pairs with soft goat cheese. They’re also packaged in a colorful tin ideal for holiday gifting.
