Oatmeal Shortbread Recipe

Is there anyone who doesn't love shortbread and need the perfect shortbread recipe? This oatmeal shortbread is more filling than traditional light shortbread. It's a substantial snack.

I use a square 8 inch x 8 inch (20 cm x 20 cm) pan. This makes a thick shortbread. If you prefer a thinner shortbread, use a 9 inch x 9 inch (22 cm x 22 cm) pan.

1 cup/250 mL butter, softened

3/4 cup/180 mL brown sugar

1 1/2 cups/375 mL whole wheat flour

1 cup/250 mL rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease a square baking pan.

In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the flour. Mix well.
Add the oats. Mix well until everything is smoothly blended. (It's fine to use your clean hands if you need to.)
Press the dough into the greased pan.
Bake until the shortbread is golden and the edges are browned
(about 20-25 minutes).
Remove from the oven and immediately slice into squares. Leave in the pan until completely cool.
