Remove when oven is cool, transfer squares to a wire rack to completely cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Can be frozen.
Note: for chocolate chip shortbread, reduce quantity of margarine by ¼ of a stick of fat and fold in 1 ½ cups of your favorite chocolate chips when mixture is incorporated
