Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
- 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325. Spread oats on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast until fragrant and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup cooled oats; process until finely ground, 1 minute. Add butter. Pulse until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking pan; press firmly into bottom. Sprinkle remaining oats on top, and press gently.
- Bake until firm and lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Using a paring knife, immediately score shortbread into 16 squares; then score each square diagonally into 2 triangles. On a wire rack, cool completely in pan; gently invert, and break along scored lines.

Simple and delicious. The only problem I had was cutting them into the small triangles. Many corners broke off while cutting them. Perhaps next time I will just leave them in 16 squares rather than 32 triangles.
I should have reviewed these earlier, I've made these so many times....easy and delicious!
