Cardamom-and-thyme shortbread

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“These addictive biscuits are also good to eat without the icing. They freeze well, so make a big batch to store for a day when you need to keep the kids busy by icing them.”- Abigail Donnelly
