I have been thinking about making shortbread for gifts this year. (My dad came from Edinburgh so shortbread is a tradition in my house.) I'm going to try your recipe because I've never made it with confectioner's sugar. How about rolling shortbread for cutout cookies? Have you ever done that, PJ? I'd like to mail these. So long as it's chilled enough, Margaret, I think this would roll out just fine. I wouldn't roll it ultra-thin, probably 1/8" to 3/16" would be just about right. Go for it! PJH
