National Shortbread Day on January 6 recognizes a classic Scottish treat enjoyed around the world known as shortbread. Shortbread is a traditional Scottish dessert typically made with: 1 part white sugar, 2 parts butter, 3 parts flour. Prepared often during the 12th century, Mary, Queen of Scots receives credit for the innovation of the shortbread during the 16th century. As it was expensive to make, the sweet cookie was reserved as a luxury for special occasions. #NationalShortbreadDay
