Doll's Shortbread

Traditional shortbread is plain and doesn't have eggs. This one has one egg for a binder and is quite delicious. It is basic and simple, a treat that you can enjoy warm or room temperature, alone or even serve with fresh fruit and a side of cream!

Doll, btw, is one of my many nicknames!
