Tips & tricks for baking shortbread cookies
 |
A well-chilled dough ensures even shapes - at least 1 hour in the fridge! Use high-quality butter for a particularly tender result. Keep the mincer clean so that the dough slides through easily. If the dough sticks, dust it lightly with flour. Experiment with attachments for a variety of shapes.
Important: Leave the cookies light after baking to keep them nice and crumbly. Your shortbread is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher and a delight! |
