Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Remove the dough from the fridge; cut into 1cm-thick discs – the dough should make about 20-25. Lay them on the baking trays; bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 mins, until golden.Step 3
Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. The shortbreads will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
