I made these with chocolate chips perfect as my family all said they were delicious and went in a few days can’t wait to bake them again. Even though the cornflour smell was a bit rank

In reply to Vicki H. No, I don't freeze them! It's okay if they break up in the mix x

Do you need to freeze the buttons before you add them to the mix so that they don’t break up when you stir them in?

Hi Jane, why does baking shortbread give an off smell that bakeries or supermarkets don’t have?

In reply to Donna. Did you use cadburys? As mentioned on the post this can often happen with Cadbury's due to its ingredients x

Hiya! Ah, as mentioned on the blog post, Cadbury’s sometimes isn’t the best and this can happen – it may be best so just switch to some chopped up chocolate, or an alternative supermarket own brand. Also, making sure that if you made the cookies any smaller/thinner, you reduced the baking time x

Love these..but one question, should the buttons be really crunchy once baked lol!? Xx

Help! I’ve made loads of your recipes and they’ve always been perfect and delicious- but not this one. The cookies baked perfectly but the chocolate became hard/crunchy and unpleasant. I used cadburys giant buttons (as I had some). Is that where I went wrong?

Made these yesterday, the shortbread is perfect, however the chocolate seems burnt! I cooked them on 160fan for 20 mins and the biscuits golden. Not sure how I can change this next time.

These were soo good!
My cookies spread out and didn’t hold their shape in the oven, why could this be? It was a very hot day could the dough/butter been too hot?
