Gently mix it all together with your hands. A soft dough should form. If it is too crumbly add a little more butter, conversely, if it is too sticky, add a little flour. Press the dough into a greased baking tin and press it down with your hands. I like to gently score the slices of the shortbread, as well as use a fork to make some decorative holes on the surface before putting it in the oven.
I usually slice up the shortbread while it is still warm and soft, leaving it in the baking tin until it is completely cool. I also sprinkle a little extra caster sugar over the top. However, should you find you have uneaten shortbread, it will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Please leave a comment on the blog or share a photo on Facebook.

An easy Shortbread Cookies recipe! Looking to make those pretty swirly shaped cookies? Also try my butter cookies recipe. These are such a simple, humble cookie with rich and tempting flavor.
They are delicious classic on their own but they are also very easy to customize see variations ideas below. A lot of the best foods start out with a generous dose of butter. Not only does it bring an abundance of rich flavor but it gives them their distinctive crumbly and slightly flaky texture.
Sure you have lots of options to buy store-bought shortbread this time of year but homemade is a game changer. They are fresher, cheaper, have a better butter flavor and more tender texture, and they just have that satisfying homemade goodness to them.
Plus these travel and ship well so they are great for gifting. Trim away uneven edges, then cut dough into rectangles or squares. Transfer to baking sheets and chill until firm, then bake in degree oven 13 — 16 minutes. Roll dough and cut with cookie cutters: Roll dough as directed then instead of cutting into squares or rectangles cut into desired shapes re-roll scraps , chill and bake as directed.
Pressing dough into a pan: This is the simplest method. Rather than shaping beforehand just press dough into a 9 by 9-inch baking pan. Bake about 35 minutes then cut into squares while warm.

Shortbread Cookie Recipe Ingredients Unsalted butter: Salted butter can be used too cookies will just be lightly saltier , just omit the salt in the recipe.
Salt: Just use standard fine table salt. Vanilla extract: Use real vanilla for the best shortbread. All-purpose flour: I like to use unbleached all purpose flour. No chewing required. This shortbread cookie recipe has only 5 ingredients, is made in one bowl, and is the best shortbread you will ever eat. Are you sold? You should be! Here's what the dough should look like after you've beat it for 10 minutes. I think it looks a lot like whipped cream.
If you're after a firm, biscuit-like shortbread like Scottish shortbread , then this is not your recipe. This recipe is for you if you want soft, melt in your mouth shortbread. And really, who doesn't want that? This recipe works best with salted butter. Remember to let it soften to room temperature before you use it. No, this shortbread is not overly sweet.
If you'd like them a little sweeter, a sprinkle of icing sugar does the trick! Once they're completely cool, freeze them on a parchment paper -lined baking sheet. Once they're frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and layer them between sheets of parchment paper.
Hi, I'm Kristen! I LOVE everything to do with food: making it, taking pictures of it, and the best part eating it. Your email address will not be published.

Could i use this recipe to make lady witch fingers for Halloween or would it be too soft to hold the finger shape from the mold?
But you could gently place a chocolate chunk in the top prior to baking them. Or drizzle some chocolate on after they come out of the oven! The taste was good but it was more like cookie dust than a cookie to bite into. Can I just leave out the cherry? Or, can I just put a little raspberry jam in there? I made these cookies and they really are melt in your mouth! I made 40 and between my mom and I they were gone in 24 hours!
They were absolutely delicious and I plan to make them again tonight! One of the best shortbread cookies i have ever made!! I skipped dinner so i could have a couple more. Love Love Love this recipe.
Thanks for sharing. I made these cookies exactly as recipe says using hand mixer. They fell apart. Intried to push back together but I am disappoint. What a mess! Bake them for the full 15 minutes then let them cool for at least 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. As far as turning the cookie sheets, if you are using 2 cookie sheets, switch them around halfway through baking put the cookie sheet on the top rack onto the bottom rack to help the cookies cook evenly.
If you have a convection oven, you can skip this step. Linda your so funny. You just rotate the cookie sheet about half way through and dont touch them until after you take them out of the oven and wait 10 minutes. Try again. Worth the ten minute beating time. I followed the recipe to a t and they were perfect. My family loved them. Back to Recipes Chicken slow cooker Veggie slow cooker See more. Back to Recipes Cheesecakes Cookies See more.
