At Mary Macleod’s Shortbread, we believe that a restricted diet should never mean a restricted experience. True indulgence is found in the quality of the ingredients and the care of the craft. That philosophy is the heartbeat of our Gluten-Free Shortbread — a cookie designed to deliver the same rich, buttery snap as our legendary 1981 original.
A Heritage of Quality, Naturally Gluten-Free
Replicating the delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture of traditional Scottish shortbread without wheat is a precise science. We’ve spent years perfecting a blend of premium, naturally gluten-free flours to ensure our cookies meet the Mary Macleod standard.
By using pure, high-fat creamery butter and our signature small-batch baking process, we’ve created a gluten-free treat that isn't just "good for being gluten-free" — it is simply a world-class cookie.
Taste That Stands Alone
We don't believe in "alternatives." We believe in excellence. Our gluten-free line offers the same sophisticated flavour profile our loyal customers have cherished for decades:
-
The Signature Snap: A crisp initial bite followed by a smooth, buttery finish.
-
Premium Ingredients: No fillers or artificial preservatives.
-
Authentic Flavour: A deep, caramelized richness that pairs perfectly with afternoon tea or a late-night espresso.
"The gluten-free cookies are a revelation. They have the same buttery taste and feel as the originals, making them a true staple in our home for guests with and without sensitivities."
Small-Batch Safety and Precision
Integrity is baked into everything we do. To ensure the safety of our gluten-sensitive community, we maintain stringent kitchen protocols to prevent cross-contamination. Every batch is handled with the precision and care that our boutique bakery is known for, giving you total peace of mind with every bite.
Sophisticated Gifting for Every Occasion
Whether you are treating yourself or looking for the perfect gesture, our gluten-free collection is packaged with the same elegance as our classic tins.

The Peaked Box: An ideal personal indulgence or stocking stuffer.
-
