Our Story

Mark’s Shortbread was born from the simple pleasure of sharing my dad’s two favorite things: cinnamon and buttery shortbread.

Growing up, my dad, Mark, taught me that the best moments often happen around the kitchen table, with a warm drink in hand and something sweet to share. He believed in the comfort of simple ingredients and the joy of slowing down together.

I started baking these cinnamon shortbreads in Williamsburg, Virginia, to capture that feeling—cozy, homemade, and a little nostalgic. Every batch is made with real European butter, warm cinnamon, and care in every step.

Today, Mark’s Shortbread is more than a recipe. It’s a way to bring people together, one cookie at a time. Whether you’re enjoying them with friends, giving them as a gift, or savoring a quiet moment, I hope they remind you of the warmth of home here in Williamsburg.
