Kittencal's Buttery Pan Shortbread
"This recipe will make two pans of the most delicious flaky buttery shortbread and may be made up to 2 weeks in advance stored at room temperature in an airtight container, if using unsalted butter then increase the salt to 1/4 teaspoon, make certain to slice the cookies while it is still warm or you can cut into small shapes or circles… I have left the candied cherries as optional they are a great addition if you are making these for the holidays, this recipe was developed to make on the food processor this will insure a flaky light texture, this will yield two two 8-inch pans/9 servings each pan"
