I think I'm with you... shortbread it is!
Thanks ladies

I totally agree with your decision! I made biscuits for my wedding and they went down a treat.
A tip is that depending on the recipe, you can bake in advance, freeze and defrost a day or two out.
Not strictly shortbread, but I used this recipe. Delicious!
