Shortbread biscuits are a classic treat originating from Scotland, celebrated for their rich, buttery flavor and crumbly texture. Traditionally made from a simple mixture of butter, sugar, and flour, these cookies are free from eggs and have a dense, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. Shortbread is often enjoyed during holidays or alongside tea, showcasing its versatility in both casual and festive settings. While the absence of artificial additives is a positive aspect, shortbread is calorie-dense due to its high butter and sugar content. It is low in protein and fiber, offering little nutritional value beyond quick energy. As an indulgence, shortbread can be savored in moderation as part of a balanced diet, but it is not particularly suited for individuals seeking healthier snack alternatives. Despite this, its timeless charm and simplicity secure its place as a beloved comfort food worldwide.
