List Of Shortbread Biscuits And Cookies
This is a list of shortbread biscuits and cookies. Shortbread is a type of biscuit or cookie traditionally made from one part sugar, two parts butter, and three parts flour as measured by weight. Shortbread originated in Scotland; the first recorded recipe was by a Scotswoman named Mrs McLintock and printed in 1736. Several varieties of shortbread exist, including mass-produced shortbread. Some stray from the classic recipe by adding ground rice or cornflour or cornstarch in addition to white wheat flour to alter the texture. Others may add salt to the ingredients, or split the sugar into equal parts granulated sugar and icing or powdered sugar. Shortbread biscuits and cookies * Berger Cookies – made and distributed by DeBaufre Bakeries, they are topped with a thick layer of chocolate fudge that derives from a German recipe, and are a cultural icon of Baltimore, Maryland.

Shrewsbury Biscuit
A Shrewsbury cake or Shrewsbury biscuit is a classic English dessert, named after Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. They are made from dough that contains sugar, flour, egg, butter and lemon zest; dried fruit is also often added. Shrewsbury cakes can be small in size for serving several at a time, or large for serving as a dessert in themselves. History The earliest known written reference for Shrewsbury cakes dates to 1602. These cakes are different from the modern Shrewsbury biscuits. The original cakes, delicate and fragile in texture, are no longer made commercially. The playwright William Congreve mentioned Shrewsbury cakes in his play ''The Way of the World'' in 1700 as a simile (''Witwoud - "Why, brother Wilfull of Salop, you may be as short as a Shrewsbury cake, if you please. But I tell you 'tis not modish to know relations in town"''). The recipe is also included in several early cookbooks including ''The Compleat Cook of 1658'', which gives the following in ...
