Keep beating the sandy dough for 3-4 minutes and all of a sudden you will feel your beaters start to strain and the dough will come together.At this point, you'll likely think that it will never come together, but have patience and trust that it will. A few minutes later, when the dough starts to look like sand, turn the beaters up to medium speed.After a minute, the dough will no longer be dusty but will have larger chunks of butter coated in flour. You'll start by slowly mixing the salted butter, flour, icing sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla using electric beaters at their lowest setting – this is to prevent a cloud of flour dust from flying out of the bowl.But it does help to have a look at the pictures above so that you can see what the dough looks like in the 4 different stages that it goes through while you're beating it. Making whipped shortbread is incredibly easy.
Shortbread cookie recipe how to#
Are you sold? You should be! How to make the softest whipped shortbread cookies This shortbread cookie recipe has only 5 ingredients, is made in one bowl, and is the best shortbread you will ever eat. In the words of one of our taste-testers, “I don't know what just happened in my mouth, but I want more of it.” They’re the most tender shortbread cookies you will ever eat. When we say they melt in your mouth, we mean it. Christmas wouldn't be the same without them. They were part of the Christmas cookie spread that always included mom's nanaimo bars, turtles, and butter tarts. This is the shortbread cookie recipe our family has been making for decades. We've updated the post with some new photos, and more information but the delicious recipe remains the same. So, many uses and all of them are lovely.This recipe was originally published in 2011. Use a smaller cutter when you make them and once baked, you can place the smaller cookies, delicately on the top of a fruity, knickerbocker glory type of dessert. How about crumbling one up in your fingers and sprinkling it on top of a yoghurt and fruit pudding? Serve them alongside fruity, creamy style desserts, which makes a lovely contrast in textures. Actually, though, there’s a little more that you can do with these Shortbread cookies. I know, I know… just make the tea and dig in. However, they do store happily for up to 3 days in an airtight container. These cookies or biscuits are at their absolute best when they come out of the oven. To make this recipe dairy-free use suitable dairy-free margarine that may be used for baking in place of the butter. I’d recommend using a margarine brand that you like the flavour of, as you will taste this in the finished cookie. I’ve used sunflower margarine and soya margarine to make these cookies with success. These shortbread cookies are suitable for plant-based and Vegan diets provided you use suitable margarine that can be used for baking. Sprinkle a little caster sugar over the cookies once they come out of the oven.Cut the dough into fingers, decorate with a pretty fork pattern.Walnut Shortbread Cookies – Omit the vanilla extract and add 1/4 cup/50g of chopped walnuts.Add this to the dough once you have beaten the butter and sugar together. Lemon Shortbread Cookies – Omit the vanilla extract and add the grated zest of a lemon and an optional 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract.Omit the vanilla and make the cookies without that additional flavour.This is quite a versatile recipe and there are a few things that you can do to make different flavoured cookies. Once they achieve a pale golden brown colour they are done. heat the oven to the correct temperature and keep an eye on them whilst they cook.The gentler you can be at this stage the crumblier the texture of the shortbread biscuits will be. gather the dough together without trying to ‘squash’ it together too much and resist kneading it.Granulated sugar isn’t fine enough to give you the best results. It may take a minute or two but stick with it. Just use the usual technique of rubbing the butter and flour between your thumb and forefinger. rub the butter/margarine into the flour and ensure that you’ve gotten rid of any lumpy bits.
