It taste great but is the texture supposed to be a little too hard?
Hi littlenoodle,
Mine is not too hard. Don't bake too long ...it cause the shortbread to get harder.'

Hi Yochanna,
Thank you for the reply. I will reduce the baking time. I used both the upper and lower oven heat. Should i just use one or the other?
Hi littlenoodle,
use both heat at the same time...upper and lower heat together.
