Grandma's Scottish Shortbread

My Grandma Carlson made Scottish Shortbread every Christmas.  This recipe came from her mom, my Great Grandma Davidson, who grew up in Scotland.  I have adapted it to make it gluten free and it tastes just like I remember!


5 cups gluten free flour
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
2 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup chopped nuts

Mix all together with your hands until it sticks together and is combined well. Spread evenly onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Using the back of a fork, make lines going horizontally and then again vertically.  Bake for 1 hour at 300º.  Cut into 1 inch squares as soon as it comes out of the oven.  Let cool completely.
