This is NOT the original Scottish recipe. This is the only 'Millionaire's Shortbread' recipe I have ever seen that calls for a 'cookie' crust. This is not traditional 'Millionaire's Shortbread', because it is not made with traditional shortbread. Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse once. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles peas.
