Also known as: Shortbread Cookies, Millionaire Shortbread
Shortbread Strain Overview
Shortbread is a mostly indica hybrid strain created by Second Generation Genetics through crossing Lamb's Bread Sour Diesel and DJ Short's F4 Blueberry. Lamb's Bread Sour Diesel delivers pronounced sativa energy, diesel tang, and a creative headspace, while Blueberry F4 packs dense structure, deep color potential, and unmistakable creamy berry terps. This contemporary dessert-leaning cannabis cultivar is prized for its buttery, cookie-dough bouquet and crowd-pleasing hybrid effects. While formal breeder-of-record information is not uniformly standardized across markets, the strain has gained traction between 2019 and 2024 in U.S. adult-use regions, with consistent availability in flower and pre-roll formats.
The strain features dense, round, forest green buds covered in golden, glandular trichomes that cement the leaves and brown pistils together. This terpene-rich flower bombards the nose with a decadent aroma: think creamy butter, sweet vanilla, and a nutty finish that would make any baker jealous. THC levels typically range from 18-26% with a median around 22%, making it suitable for both novice and experienced consumers.
