Shortbread is one of my favorite desserts to enjoy. It’s so buttery and rich, you don’t need too much to satisfy that sweet tooth! Did I mention there are only 3 ingredients in shortbread?! How awesome is that. If you haven’t had a good shortbread, you have got to try it.  Get your butter, flour, sugar and enjoy some sinful shortbread!

Once cooled, I like to cut off 1/2 inch around each side. Totally optional, just makes squares more the same size/shape 🙂

Spread evenly with creamy peanut butter and drizzle with melted white chocolate. Cut into squares and enjoy!
