Original Granny Pearl’s Shortbread Tray

At the heart of Shortbread Society is Original Granny Pearl’s Shortbread, a true taste of tradition. Taught to Chef Scottish Francis by his cherished Granny Pearl at the age of three, this recipe embodies the art of classic Scottish Highland baking. Thick, buttery, moist, and perfectly crisp around the edges, this shortbread is simple, timeless, and authentic – crafted with love and tradition in every bite.

Now available in chocolate – made with Ghirardelli Dark Majestic Cocoa Powder, it’s rich, deeply cocoa-forward, and full of flavor – but it’s not overly sweet. It’s soft, buttery, a little fudgy in texture, with a saltiness that makes the chocolate shine. Simple, satisfying, and seriously delicious. Available in regular and gluten-free!

You’ve never had shortbread like this! If your idea of shortbread comes from the cookie aisle at the supermarket, it’s time for a reality check. Shortbread Society, founded by Chef Scottish Francis (from Season 5 of “Masterchef”) and his wife Christine, is a hidden gem with a cult following in the heart of New York City. Francis’ Scottish roots and Christine’s creative vision combine to dream up innovative and decadent flavor combinations that elevate classic shortbread into a dessert experience unlike any other. From holiday exclusives to imaginative new releases, every bite is a one-of-a-kind adventure.

To Serve

• Shortbreads should be sliced at room temperature or very lightly chilled.
• Make sure to bring your frozen shortbread back to room temperature prior to slicing and serving.
• For easy slicing and serving we recommend removing your shortbread entirely from the tin.
• To do so, first take a knife or an offset spatula to score around the edge of the tin to separate the shortbread and filling from the edges of the tin.
• Then expand the corners of the tin and gently pop it out.
• On a flat surface, while using a cutting board, use a sharp knife and slowly slice your shortbread. It can serve 8 regular slices and 16 bite-sized pieces.
• Serve and enjoy!
