Mary Macleod’s Shortbread is a Canadian bakery renowned for its luxurious, handcrafted shortbread cookies, made according to the original recipe from 1981. The brand was founded by Mary Macleod, a woman who believed that the simplest things are often the most beautiful – as long as they're made with love and the finest ingredients.


Mary started her business in a small workshop in Toronto, insisting that every cookie be hand-mixed and shaped, using only pure butter, flour, sugar, and carefully selected add-ins. The brand’s assortment includes both classic and modern variations of cookies – from the pure buttery original to those with chocolate chunks, pecans, caramel, hazelnuts, spices, and more.


Today, nearly half a century later, the brand remains a symbol of quality, tradition, and refined indulgence.
