GRANDMA'S SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD

My Scottish grandmother was renowned for her baking, and one of the highlights whenever we visited my grandparents was her bringing out the baking tin. Her shortbread cookies were my favorite, and now, whenever I make them, I remember her. This is not a thin, crispy dessert shortbread; it's a deep bar that is best served with a cup of tea. -Jane Kelly, Wayland, Massachusetts

SCOTTISH GRASMERE SHORTBREAD

Since I love shortbread, this recipe is very special to me and I typically only make it during the holidays. It is the ultimate in shortbread that includes a crystallized ginger filling that is sandwiched in between shortbread that includes the ginger in the batter as well. You can also merely top single layers of the shortbread with the ginger frosting since the sandwiched cookie is extremely rich and is something that is more appropriate for a special occasion.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat an 8-inch ceramic shortbread mold with cooking spray; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar until well combined. Add flours and mix until just combined and a shaggy dough forms.
Firmly press dough into mold in an even layer. Bake until edges just begin to turn golden, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove from oven; turn oven off. Let shortbread cool in mold 10 minutes.
Invert a parchment-lined baking sheet onto back of mold. Carefully re-invert, turning mold onto sheet; lift off mold. Using a sharp knife, cut shortbread into wedges. Separate wedges, then return sheet to oven until shortbread is dry, at least 1 hour. Let cool completely.

Vegetable-oil cooking spray, for mold
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
3/4 superfine sugar
