I cannot do Christmas baking without
shortbread cookies!
I basically do the shortbread recipe that
we have used forever
and then let my children
get busy with the
decorating...
AND
they are good!!!
AND
they are good!!!
limited ingredients!
Four cups of flour
2 and one half cups of soft butter
1 cup of white sugar
mix well, so that you get a nice consistency for cutting
then pull out your favourite cookie cutters,
cut, bake for 15-20 minutes at 300F
and then decorate away!!
More cookies?? Yep.....Click here for Pecan Melts
I love shortbread cookies & you have decorated these so beautifully! Yum!
ReplyDeleteWe are leading parallel lives these days. I just made shortbread too and my recipe is almost identical to yours and has been in the family for generations. I'm posting about it on Tuesday. I love how your shortbread are decorated - the ones by the kids are the best aren't they.
ReplyDeleteGina, thanks but I cannot take credit for the decorations...I am never good with this type of detail...totally my daughter!
ReplyDeleteI saw Grace that you are co-hosting a cookie party? Sounds fun. I love the old recipes, simple and good.
Beautiful looking cookies Donna. That's a really different recipe and sounds more like a sugar cookie but I might just try it. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week! Pamela
ReplyDeleteMight be Pamela. I have never really understood the difference between a sugar cookie and shortbread. But, they sure are good!
