    Joy! Truly classic! My grandmother taught me this recipe, specifying golden-brown sugar. If you leave it 90 seconds too long in the oven, it's butterscotch-y -- which is not necessarily a bad thing!. I have relatives who ask me every year if there is any chance of shortbread (unfortunately, I get a lot of November-December respiratory infections, so I haven't made any in several years. Maybe this year, but for Hogmanay rather than Christmas,)
