Christmas Shortbread Cookies ~ They’re deliciously buttery, keep so well, make a great gift and look so Christmassy covered in the lightest dusting of powdered sugar.


Ingredients:
  • 225g unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)
  • ½ cup caster (superfine) sugar
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Method:
  1. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  2. Add the flour and salt and mix on a low speed until just incorporated.
  3. Bring the dough together into a ball. Roll out between two sheets of baking paper until the dough is ½ inch thick.
  4. Refrigerate the rolled out dough for about 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the shortbread from the fridge, take off the top sheet of baking paper and use Christmas shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
  6. Place the cutout cookies onto lined baking trays. Bring the leftover dough together in a ball and repeat the whole process.
  7. Refrigerate the trays of cutout cookies for 10 minutes and preheat the oven to 170 (325 F).
  8. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until lightly golden. Makes about 30 cookies.
  9. Happy baking! And merry Christmas!
