Well, I did this too, had the same problem, and cooked it probably
too long on the wrong pan (one of those double, insulated ones that
doesn't brown properly.)  It came out hard as a rock, so hard that
I was using a hammer to bash hunks of it apart. 

I did something I've wanted to try anyway.  I made turkish coffee 
and dunked the shortbread into it like a biscotti.  I haven't made
faces like that since the chocolate mousse cake/espresso stunt I
pulled at a resturaunt.

I've wanted to make turkish coffee since I picked up an ibrik for $1
at a garage sale.  The seller's response was "what is it, anyway?"
heh heh.
