Recipe View Once cooled, store the shortbread cookies in an airtight container with wax paper or parchment paper between layers to maintain their delicate texture. These cookies keep well for several days.

For a hint of citrus, add 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the dough.
To create festive variations, flatten some dough balls with the tines of a fork and press a quarter of a red or green glace cherry into the center.
Alternatively, make a thumbprint indentation in some balls and fill with a tiny amount of your favorite jam, jelly, or marmalade before baking.
For a nutty coating, dip some balls in slightly beaten egg white and roll in finely chopped walnuts before baking. You can also make an indentation in the top and spoon in a little jam or marmalade after baking.
Another delightful option is to dip some balls in egg white and roll in desiccated coconut. Bake as they are or make an indentation and spoon in a little jam, jelly, or marmalade after baking.
