Assorted Shortbread Cookies Recipe So EASY & Delicious | ONLY 3 main ingredients

Assorted Shortbread Cookies - To be honest, I’m not quite a cookie person, but butter cookies or shortbread are my favourite cookies. My sister made these and she gave me as a gift during the Lunar festival, I was like wow, they are amazingly delicious. I want to make them too. This recipe is pretty amazing with only 3 main ingredients, flour, butter and sugar, yes that is all. I added cranberries, pistachios and almonds in 3 different variations respectively, vanilla, matcha and chocolate. Best gift for any festivals. If you have tried “Walkers” Shortbread (I also have a box here to compare), I can tell you these homemade shortbread are as delicious as Walkers or even better. As I was editing this video, I was craving for it and kept taking from my kitchen. Yummy!

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and sugar. Mix until creamy, fluffy and pale.

2. Press and fold with a spatula, as shown in the video, until it almost comes together.
3. Add in the chopped cranberries. Knead until it comes together.
4. Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper, one half side of the parchment paper, so that the other side can be used to cover the top.
5. Roll out the dough to about 6mm thick. Use a scraper to shape the sides neatly and evenly. Cover back the dough with the parchment paper.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until it is hardened.
7. After 1 hour, cut the dough into the size or shape you desire. Place the cookie dough onto a baking pan.
8. Bake in preheated oven at 160°C/320°F for 20 minutes or until they are lightly brown.
9. Cool on a cooling rack.

4. Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper, one half side of the parchment paper, so that the other side can be used to cover the top.
5. Roll out the dough to about 6mm thick. Use a scraper to shape the sides neatly and evenly. I added additional almond slice on top to make it look nicer. Cover back the dough with the parchment paper.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until it is hardened.
7. After 1 hour, cut the dough into the size or shape you desire. Place the cookie dough onto a baking pan.

I made the chocolate shortbread and the recipe was peeeerfect. It's so satisfying taking the slab of dough out of the fridge. I cut mine evenly and then for a few of them I piped in a chocolate icing and it was fantastic! these cookies definitely taste even better the day after as well.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. I just tried it now... I think I added too much flour because I just wanted to make the vanilla one, and it was late when I realized I had to separate them. I was confused and my short bread crumbled as I cut through it from the freezer.😔. Though tastes nice. But was just breaking apart😥 Will try again I guess. Cheers

That looks so awesome Fiona !! I’m definitely trying out these 🤗 Can you please tell me any substitute for matcha ?

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi dear. If you can't find matcha or don't desire them, you can always replace with anything green you can find, I have come across pea flour which is green. Alternatively, without the greens, you can replace the same amount with any flour or ground almonds

[@gutgulliegirltanvisethi1087]

@@gracioustreatz7231 thanks a ton for the help❤️

[@tammiemartinez6485]

@@gracioustreatz7231 Instead of chopping the pistachios like you did could I blitz them up into a powder then use that as my flour substitute? I really want the pistachio flavor to be strong. Some of the shortbread recipes I've used in the past are softer after baking. Can I do that with these? How long would you suggest they bake for to get them softer? I have a freshly opened bag that I need to use up. These would make a perfect bake to just do that... 😋

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi Valentina. If you've tried green tea, that's what matcha taste like. Without sugar, there's a little bitterness in green tea. I'm not a big fan of matcha, but this will be a nice variations to make cookies some natural colours instead of adding colouring to them. They are very easy and delicious I have to say. You have a wonderful week ahead! 💖💕💞

Is there any particular reason for using coconut oil? Shortbread normally used butter based. Perhaps vegan butter, margarine or even ghee, will work too 💖
