If you’ve ever wondered why handmade shortbread cookies taste better than store-bought ones, you're not alone. There’s something magical about cookies made by hand — the kind of buttery richness and delicate crunch that mass production simply can't replicate.
At Lowrey Foods, we believe real shortbread is an art form — and we bake every tin with the kind of craftsmanship that makes you slow down and savour.
What Makes Handmade Shortbread Cookies So Special?
Unlike factory-made cookies, handmade shortbread is crafted with care, precision, and premium ingredients. Here’s what sets ours apart:
-
42% cultured New Zealand butter – the secret behind that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture
-
No shortcuts – every cookie is piped by hand, batch by batch
-
Clean ingredients only – no palm oil, preservatives, or artificial flavours
-
Slow baking methods – for that golden colour and crumbly texture shortbread lovers crave
From the first buttery bite to the last golden crumb, handmade shortbread cookies are a true indulgence — especially when made with integrity.
