Shortbreads at Crema House in Ottawa are single butter shortbread cookies, baked in our pasticceria and sold by the piece. The Chocolate shortbread works cocoa into the classic dough of butter, flour and sugar, so it is crisp and crumbly with a dark, mildly bitter edge. Shortbread is a simple thing, and the quality rests on the butter, which is why we bake small batches daily. It contains wheat flour, butter and dairy, and no nuts, though the kitchen handles them. One cookie is a small sweet rather than a dessert, and it suits a coffee break at the counter or a bag for later. Other shortbreads are Butter, Raspberry Jam and Apricot Jam. Order for pickup on Clyde Avenue with an Espresso.
