Preheat your oven to 150°C.

Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.

Mix in the flour until you have formed a dough.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough until it is around 1/2 cm thick.

Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut your shortbread shapes and place on your baking tray about 2cm apart.

If you have dough left, reform and reroll until it is all used!

Prick the top of your biscuits with a fork, and bake for 10-15 minutes until just set.

Sprinkle with sugar or dunk in some melted chocolate!
