Fab aint it. It was my Granny on my mums side that used to make this all the time too. When I saw how easy it was I was hooked. Although sshhh, I have been known to pout melted chocolate over the top but its frowned upon as not traditional! Its flippin tasty though!!
I used to dip half my shortbread into chocolate....I didn't know the "rules"....now I don't bc I am on a diet.....bahahahaha.....ugh....as if that makes a difference. Chocolate chips mixed into the dough is also nice. My recipe comes from my Granny on my mom's side too.....
Also shortbread is best rolled and cut like you demonstrated....rather than cookie pressed or rolled in a ball and flattened. Those who do it that way usually add icing sugar and corn starch....they are good but not the best....imho.
