I am not a fan of shortbread and I have just found this out. I actually received this tin as a gift and boy are there a lot of cookies. I actually gave it away as I don't like shortbread. To me it's just a mediocre cookie and this tin has so much of it that I couldn't even fathom having one more. I could see how a tea drinker might love these, but as I myself am more of a coffee and donut person, I think I will pass on these.
