Original Almond Shortbread | Well Hello There Shortbread Lovers |

Todays recipe is from my mother's old family recipe book, because no Christmas would be the same without Traditional Almond Shortbread. This is a big recipe and will easily make 30 good sized shortbread. A good tip for getting your butter soft, is to leave in in a bowl in your oven with just the light on in the oven. This is really helpful if you are baking in the middle of winter.
