I like the bit where they cut the center out because it never bakes properly anyway...classic Test Kitchen manuever!

Must... Resist...

(All I need is to latch on to a new shortbread recipe. It would ruin my diet for sure!)

My better half uses rice flour instead of cornstarch/oat flour, about 1 part in 5 of the total flour. Makes for a very delicate texture.
[She also rolls the dough into logs, lets it rest in wax-paper overnight, and slices it as cookies, not as a large cake, so YMMV.]
