~~~~ The Tudors and Cookies ~~~
According to history(?): Shortbread cookies are ancient.
They started in Scotland way back when cooking, compared to today's standards, was crude at best.
Of course they have evolved over time to what we know today.
The original shortbread cookie recipe probably included oat flour but when the English adopted
it they substituted wheat flour.
[because in Tudor England oats were considered animal food]
Thank you Tudors!
(we're sure the original shortbread cookies were
wonderful too but.......)
Another Tudor we love gave us this delightful cookie ~ and you'll want to be sure to try it as well!
Isn't history delicious?
