For an even richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content. Ensure the butter is properly softened but not melted for the best cookie texture. Do not overbake the cookies, as they will continue to firm up as they cool. Store the cooled shortbread cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
