But delicious, and worth the work! Here are some hints for baking delicate items: * Preheat the oven well ahead of time. * Use light colored or shiny baking pans, as dark colored pans will cause more browning. (Dark absorbs heat, light reflects heat) * If your oven tends to have "hot spots" or uneven heating, use a double pan for baking. This also works for cakes, if you are using a thin or disposable cake pan. * Check the temperature of the oven using a separate oven thermometer. Happy baking! Shortbread is indeed delicate. But delicious, and worth the work!

My mom makes the best shortbread ever. The recipe just has the butter, icing sugar, flour and corn starch in it. Those look really yummy!
