Walker's "World's Finest" Shortbreads - "They weren't kidding"

     Today I figured I would take it back to some English classics. Now everyone has tried “shortbread” cookies be it from the Girl Scouts outside of the grocery store, or the boxed American brand shortbread cookies inside the grocery store. Let me tell you, if you are a fan of these types of cookies, you are going to be impressed by Walkers, and I have to thank Jolly Grub for the tip – without them I’d be lost on this adventure.

     Started in 1898 – Walker’s was founded by Joseph Walker and has remained in the family ever since, and their dedication to “baking the finest shortbreads, biscuits, cakes and oatcakes, using [their] founder's original recipes” has truly paid off. These cookies really do melt in your mouth. While a lot of American shortbread can be a bit dry from time to time depending on the brand (and the weather!), these cookies are the perfect consistency and texture that will keep you coming back. They also have a huge variety besides plain butter shortbread as well – from chocolate chip to scottie dogs to butterscotch biscuits – Walker’s has a near endless amount of cookies you can try.

   You can find Walker’s shortbread cookies here. Remember if you like anything you read here and want to try it for yourself, check out Jolly Grub! In the next few posts, I will be starting to cook with various sauces and trying other various British treats so be sure to follow! Don’t forget to find Jolly Grub on facebook here.
