Thanks for posting your mother's shortbread recipe.
I made the dough for Christmas but it didn't manage to
actually bake them.

Baked them today, they're delicious.

Glad you liked it. FWIW, I froze some and left some in the can.
Forgetting that there were some in the can I had been taking them out of
the freezer a little ahead of time. Then I discovered the can. I think
they improved from sitting there a few weeks.

I ran out of steam at Christmas to bake them, so while the dough
was frozen a few days, it's been thawed for a week at least,
and the cookies are none the worse for wear as far as I can
tell. Amazing, only 3 ingredients: butter, brown sugar and flour.

Pretty indestructible. A keeper.
