Kid friendly fun, minimal ingredient and most importantly yummy short bread cookies!


Ingredients (makes 18 Cookies)

  • 250g Soft Butter
  • 3 cups Plain Flour
  • 1/2 cup Icing Sugar

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees, and line two flat baking trays.
  2. Whisk the butter in a mixer on high until light in colour and fluffy, around 5 minutes. Sift the flour and sugar together, and gradually add to the butter on a low speed until just combined.
  3. Optional - Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to cool. Using a rolling pin, or your hands, flatten to 5mm and cut into desired shapes.
  4. Place the cookies on the baking tray, and cook for 15 minutes, or until starting to lightly brown on the edges.
  5. Cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. Dust with icing sugar, or whip up a quick icing mix. Decorate the cookies, or eat with a hot tea or coffee!

  • This seems too simple! I don’t know how it would go, but I am intrigued by biscuits with so few ingredients! It seems as though the biscuits themselves are only butter and flour and then the icing sugar would be for the icing? I would have thought that the biscuits would need sweetening too.

  • I’ve only ever made shortbread with rice flour. I imagine these would be much different to short bread?

  • My recipe is similar but with lesser fat, I tend to use Nuttelex to cater to allergies & for school snack boxes.

  • I’m not keen on icing sugar but have used raw coconut palm sugar made fine in the mortal & vessel and that works perfect
