To shape the shortbread

1. Place the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to be about ½ inch.
2. If you are making shortbread slices you need to use the rolling pin to form a rectangle instead and then cut out rectangular slices.
3. To make shortbread cookies, use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies (the amount you get will very depending on the size of the cutter).
4. Use a toothpick or a skewer to make holes (not too deep) in the shortbread (see the pictures).
5. Place each cookie on the lined baking tray and repeat the above step with the remaining few.
6. Bake the shortbread for rough 15 minutes or until the edges are very lightly golden.
7. Allow the shortbread to cool down before consuming.
