How to make Shortbread Cookies | Recipe for roll out & cookie press

[@luzrosas4824]

First time to view your channel, it's almost 11 in the evening, I was just strolling KZbin, suddenly I felt I just woke up in the morning. I was fascinated by your presentation of the difference between a cookie pressed dough and the roll out dough. This is what I was looking for. Just new in baking, so I started buying tools for cookies without knowing what basics do I ought to know. Thank you so much for the very timely info I have learned tonight. What a beautiful day to try what I have learned. For sure, it will make my day with confidence to bake cookies like a pro. I am now your avid viewer. Thank you again

[@idelmagarcia7319]

Thank God I found this recipe. So far these are the best shortbread cookie I've tried. I made the roll out ones and it was a hit. Thanks for sharing.

[@sammiewilliams7967]

[@rosefernandez9960]

Loved your video! Can’t wait to try and make some! Thanks! You’ve got an instant subscriber! 💖🙏🏻

[@reenie38]

I love the look of this dough cannot wait to try it. As it is not a sweet dough it sounds perfect for decorating with royal. I find it too sweet as a rule so maybe this recipe will make a nice balance. Loving your channel, look forward to learning more from you.

[@MajMakesIt]

Definitely ! this dough is light and not too sweet so any icing you add will balance it nicely. Thanks so much for watching my videos :)

[@kavin9976]

Hi Mam....can I add some cashews and pistas (cut into small pieces) into the dough and make a log and then cut it into slices? Will it work? Pls tell me Mam.... awaiting your valuable reply

[@Monchi990]

Beautiful cookies, thank you for sharing. I will try the first method with the cookie press.

[@MajMakesIt]

Thanks so much, I hope you like the recipe :) if you need it softer to work through the press add tiny amounts of water. Its a lovely light recipe i always use for cookies

[@Monchi990]

Maj Makes It I will certainly let you know when I made them. I have all the ingredients @ home and love baking and cooking 😊...

[@MajMakesIt]

Thats wondeful !!! Good luck :)

[@Monchi990]

Thank you.... Like your cookie press, which brand is it? I got a Wilton Ultra Pro II some years ago on mothers' day 😊.

[@kavin9976]

You are wonderful mam... Fast response. I'll definitely try this and let you know...

[@SS40-nah]

Does this recipe taste anything like the Lorna Doone cookies? 🤔

[@KN-hc7qx]

Hey I just tried this recipe for the roll out version and mine didn’t turn out like yours :( I followed the recipe but my dough turned out more moist than yours for some reason and it was hard to cut shapes with. I had to add up to a cup more flour to get the texture looking similar to yours. Can you post the recipe in grams so that the measurements could be more exact? I’m guessing mine turned out differently due to the variations in measuring with volume

[@pushonn_]

Oh my God samee! My dough is like a thiccc cake batter

[@ninamalar]

looks yummy. tq for sharing. just wondering on your cookies presser. may I know what brand is that?

[@MajMakesIt]

I actually have no idea, this was my mothers and its over 40 years old. I got it from her, there are other brands you can try. check the description box for a link to a cookie press

[@ekmackenzie]

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@kavin9976]

Thank you so much...mam also tell me does these cookies hold eggy smell...

[@MajMakesIt]

NAGAAMMAI MAA no not at all, I would say a light buttery smell from the butter

[@nisyahkasim7998]

Hi . Do you have this recipe with measurement in grams?

[@littlechocolatier4596]

How doesn't she have 100000 subscribers?!?!

[@MajMakesIt]

oh gosh I wish !!! I just start a few months ago on KZbin, I hope my channel grows. thanks for watching :)

[@irmaroman5192]

Little chocolatier I'm thinking the same too

[@sharonwatson4085]

Beautiful cookies and tutorial. Can this dough be used for the new wooden rolling pins that give an impression? What type of cookie press do you have? Thank you!

[@MajMakesIt]

I truly apologize for the late reply, I have been off KZbin for a while with other projects. Im not sure, its worth a try, but i would refrigerate after the impression has been made for a good 20-30 mins. Might work, iv always wanted to try

[@Mavka-m7f]

I am planning make it today 😁. But , can I replace water for milk? Please let me know 😊 Thanks for sharing.🌻🌺🌼✌

[@MajMakesIt]

I truly apologize for the late reply, I have been off KZbin for a while with other projects. Yes milk is good too :)

[@trinimuslimhaj]

must try my dough is never crumblier its smooth if i mix like you do

[@sunshineseaandvitamind8620]

What cookie press do you recommend?

[@9833596613]

looks totally yummy.. thnks for sharing. .m surly gonna try em.. Thank u

[@MajMakesIt]

Thanks so much for watching, hope you like them !

[@truclynguyen5479]

I'm going to try your recipe for graduation party. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!!!

[@MajMakesIt]

I truly apologize for the late reply, I have been off KZbin for a while with other projects. Hope it helps !!!!!!

[@tatianalozada5818]

Can I use something else that’s not oil?

[@fj9306]

Hi Maj 😃 Thanks for the video & recipe. Can I use the cookie press recipe dough with piping bag instead?

[@MajMakesIt]

Thanks so much for watching :) I think it will be too difficult to pipe in a bag, your hands are going to hurt. A cookie press really helps relieve some pressure from you.

[@fj9306]

Thanks for the reply Maj 😃 OK, will use my cookie press.

[@oof9701]

I ran out of flour and substituted half of it with oats. Still tastes bomb!

[@MajMakesIt]

no way ! it worked ok? i think i need to try it too !

[@abdelazizalaze]

تحضير كعكة الغريبة : زبدة بحرارة الغرفة + نصف كوب زيت + 1 كوب نشاء الذرة + فرينة + عرق من الفانيلا نستخرج منه الفانيلا 3 ملاعق ماء + كوب سكر بودر شكرا لكم.

[@yustiniakusumastuti527]

Is this dough firm enough to be rolled with the embossed rolling pin?

[@irinababkina422]

Great!

[@kavin9976]

Ok mam... Thank you so much... I'll try to do adding more flour and icing sugar next time while baking these cookies... Our climate is not too hot nor too cold...

[@amychan3073]

Your cup on video u use look really small,is it 8oz cup. Thx

[@MajMakesIt]

Its regular cup measuring tools, might look small on screen maybe

[@nazmulhuda4446]

Maj you r The BEST 👌

[@ummehumayra1474]

You evn gave Amazon links You r simply amazing 👌

[@kavin9976]

Hi..can you give measurements in grams pls... For icing sugar or confectionery sugar, can we grind granulated sugar with corn starch in 1 cup : 1 tablespoon proportion and make ...pls reply mam

[@MajMakesIt]

You can convert the measurements on google, and yes you can grind regular sugar with the cornstarch to make it smooth.

[@kavin9976]

Mam.. no need of adding salt?

[@mayraalfaro3054]

Hello. Instead of using the vanilla stick I used liquid so it made my dough a bit soft. I am using the pampered chef cookie gun but they are not forming. What can I use to fix the dough ?

[@MajMakesIt]

so it would pipe out and not hold shape? Maybe add more flour, dont add too much liquid for the vanilla

[@saimaahmed8976]

Tried the roll out recipe did have to add more flour but still turned out amazing

[@leturtle768]

What is the cornstarch for? I’ve been looking at a lot of recipes and some use cornstarch and some don’t. Does it make a difference?

[@MajMakesIt]

The cornstarch adds a lighter and melting texture when you eat. I agree with you iv seen recipes with or without. Many people don't like the idea of cornstarch but its a nice addition. It gives another note of texture to the cookie. Let me know if you give it a try and how you like it :) thanks for watching my video :)

[@leturtle768]

Thank you!

[@kimmirving4259]

I loved the video but the cookies taste like sawdust... I then dipped the backs in chocolate and they were a hit!! THANK YOU!!!

[@MajMakesIt]

On no Sawdust :( Sorry to hear that ! They are a very melt in your mouth recipe. Glad the chocolate helped lol

[@Lisa-qw4ox]

Kimm Irving did you do the roll out Ones? I was thinking the extra cup of flour would have made them too bland.

[@SPOILEDDES]

Saw dust for me too!

[@vipdawlance2243]

is corn starch and corn flour same things??

[@MajMakesIt]

Yes it is, In the US and Canada they call it Corn Starch. Both are the same ingredient

[@chhayapanchal7591]

when you add 1 cup extra flour for roll out cookies don't you have to add extra sugar?

[@MajMakesIt]

Chhaya Panchal these cookies aren't overly sweet so I don't add extra sugar. If you want to you can add maybe a 1/4 cup confectioners sugar and and tiny bit of water to bind the dough better.

[@Joannar1990]

Can you show us how to make the icing to decorate the cookies

[@MajMakesIt]

i like to use peggy porschen royal icing, or wilton Royal icing, Both are great

[@triashahaldar8023]

Your techniques are really amazing!! Love from india :)

[@MajMakesIt]

Thank you for watching :)

[@TheSeraphim75]

Tried the Cookie press one out today and it was a mega fail. I followed the recipe 100% Hmmm...the dough was too wet for the press and after adding a cup of flour the press worked good but the bake was crumbles...nowhere near shortbread you could pick up and break.

[@angelinakim2622]

What kind of oil?

[@MajMakesIt]

canola or vegetable is good, olive oil is too strong

[@kavin9976]

Hi mam.. I baked these cookies today. Wow...melting in mouth ... awesome receipe... But I want to share my experience. I chose roll out method. I added three cups of flour and other ingredients as per your direction only. But by dough was not at all firm, no need for adding water, then I was not able to roll out...it was loose and I made a log, cling wrapped, refrigerated, then sliced and baked. What went wrong mam... Pls reply. Because next time I don't want like this to happen. I want to cut the cookies as u did. Otherwise, yes, it's extraordinary receipe. God bless you mam...

[@MajMakesIt]

NAGAAMMAI MAA thank you for getting back to me about your experience. are you in a warmer climate? I would add more flour possibly to stiffen the dough further till it's a good consistency. The addition of extra flour would affect the ratio and sweetness too. So you could add a little more confectioner's sugar too. But try a little more flour and a couple extra table spoons of cornstarch hopefully that should help

[@irmaroman5192]

Do you have a video on how to royal icing

[@MajMakesIt]

I don't have a video on it, but there are many recipes that are great, www.thespruce.com/royal-icing-520319

[@kavin9976]

Sorry question wrongly posted... So without any leavening agent ...cookies will be perfect mam

[@MajMakesIt]

NAGAAMMAI MAA yes definitely not all cookies require baking powder or soda, shortbread are a type that are best for decorating and shape cutting because they hold very well. Try them out, iv used this recipe for over 15 years it's not overly sweet but light and crisp too 👍🏼

[@SPOILEDDES]

I’m not sure what I did wrong but I made these and it felt like pill powder texture in my mouth and was disgusting.

[@Monchi990]

Ooohhh just noticed. You forgot to mention the 1 cup cornstarch in the written recipe above for the press cookies. 😊

[@MajMakesIt]

Thanks soooo much for telling me !!!! I just amended it. Im so sorry !!!!

[@Monchi990]

Maj Makes It It's ok. I'm glad to help out. Take care....have a nice day. 😊

[@yuli.e919]

ingredientes en gramos porfavor...

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

Excellent (except for the superbly loud annoying music). Thank you for sharing your techniques and recipes.

[@MajMakesIt]

omg i know !!! i didn't realize it got so loud and repetitive ooops

[@Noneyabiznaz270]

There is NO oil in shortbread cookies.......

[@esthergarcia3726]

Why oil? Water? OMG

[@MajMakesIt]

oil gives it a crunch, and water helps soften the dough

[@TheRickie41]

Oil.....? Never tried.

[@MajMakesIt]

TheRickie41 it adds a nice crisp and lightness to the cookie 😊

[@darartuguta2938]

God bless you

[@elenatuft4710]

Mine spreaded😭😔🤨

[@marvona3531]

[@wmverk]

music is progressively painful

[@amazingbrain5818]

Terrible, unnecessary, loud background music a definite turn off !
