Britts Organic Artisan Bakery GF Vanilla Traditional Shortbread Cookies are a carefully made gluten-free biscuit that stays close to the familiar texture and flavour of traditional shortbread. Crafted using a blend of organic flours and real butter, these cookies offer a delicate crumb and subtle sweetness, finished with natural vanilla bean for a balanced, comforting taste.
This recipe reflects an artisan approach, focusing on simple preparation and recognisable ingredients rather than highly processed substitutes.

Additional Information
Britts Organic Artisan Bakery focuses on producing baked goods that reflect traditional methods while accommodating modern dietary needs. These gluten-free shortbread cookies are designed to feel familiar, with a clean flavour profile and a texture that mirrors classic shortbread styles. The inclusion of butter alongside organic plant-based oils contributes to richness without heaviness.
Extended Information
Shortbread has long been valued for its simplicity, relying on balance rather than bold flavouring. In a gluten-free context, achieving that same restraint requires thoughtful ingredient selection. The combination of organic rice, millet, buckwheat and maize flours provides structure while maintaining a light, crumbly finish. Guar gum supports binding, helping the cookies hold together without becoming dense.
Vanilla bean is used sparingly, adding warmth and aroma rather than sweetness. This makes the cookies versatile, suitable as a stand-alone snack or as part of a dessert plate alongside fruit, yoghurt or ice cream. In everyday households, they work well as a pantry staple for visitors, lunchboxes or quiet moments with tea.
Artisan baking often places emphasis on technique and ingredient quality rather than speed or volume. Educational resources such as Stockpot highlight how traditional baking and cooking practices focus on understanding ingredients and process rather than shortcuts, an approach that aligns closely with products like these cookies.
