Flavor Peppermint Bark Sugar and Spice

Product variants

Many store brands lack the rich butteriness of true Scottish shortbread, ending up too gritty or pasty on the tongue, but these treats are truly authentic, handmade from a family recipe. Each of these biscuits is richly buttery and textured with the perfect amount of crumbliness. And Milk Street is excited to add two new festive flavors to the mix for the holidays. The Sugar and Spice variety pairs warming cinnamon, cardamom and ginger with a sprinkle of demerara sugar for subtle crunch and caramelization. It’s distinctly festive without the heavier notes of nutmeg, clove or allspice you’ll find in other baked goods. Peppermint Bark balances rich dark chocolate, bits of crisp salted butter caramel and just the right amount of peppermint oil for a fresh finish. A bit of salt tempers the sweetness of both flavors, while ground rice gives the cookies their signature light, crisp texture. The biscuits come in illustrated holiday tins—featuring a hare for Sugar and Spice and a stag for Peppermint Bark—that make charming gifts or keepsakes.

Pair these festive shortbreads with a coffee or tea, or serve after dinner with port or sherry. Sugar and Spice is especially good dunked into chai or black tea, while Peppermint Bark shines alongside hot chocolate or espresso. Set them out on a holiday cookie spread, or bring a tin along as an easy host gift.
