I used to live in Scotland a few years ago and my first experience of shortbread cookies was in Glasgow. Loved every bit of them, especially the buttery taste. Here’s my spin to the very buttery shortbread and what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with heart shaped cookies and your loved ones!
