Shortbread Cookies Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking.com/shortbrea... Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make shortbread cookies. Shortbreads are one of my favorite cookies. Scottish in origin, this rich, tender and crumbly straw colored biscuit (cookie) was once only served during Christmas and New Year's Eve. In its most basic form, shortbreads are made with just three ingredients, butter, sugar, and flour.

Your channel is one of my happy places. You are loved around the world.

[@wejasif9096]

I tried this recipe and it turned out absolutely amazing! The only changes I made was that I used 250gms of butter and added a little more than half a cup of sugar. Instead of rolling out the dough and using cookie cutterI simply rolled the whole dough into a rectangular prism, wrapped it tightly in a saran wrap,stuck it in the fridge for half an hour and then simply sliced it. Saved me a lot of time and hard work of rolling the left over dough again.

Thank you Stephanie for mentioning to use the products people love and use in their foods. Not everyone can find the same butter, flour or sugar. You give the viewer a choice, to decide what best fits their needs and what they may prefer to use. Some videos, and I won't mention Martha Stewart's name, but she has all those fanny ingredients that most people can't find at their local grocery store. And she wants people to only use the same items she has. Which really isn't practical for most home bakers. Fantastic job you do. I still love your dog, as I've seen him in other videos!

[@ThePinkDaises]

Hi Stephanie. I've been a loyal viewer for many years now. Your videos have been a source of comfort for me. I know, strange. But there's something about your demeanor that's so calming, and it's satisfying to watch you bake. I've also tried tons of your recipes and they pretty much always work out so well. I just wanted to say thank you. I hope you feel very proud of your channel and the fact that you help so many people. :)

[@ThePinkDaises]

Also, whenever I peruse the comments on your videos, I see people from all over the world communicating how much they like the video. It's neat to see that there are still things that unite us, like food, even in today's very divisive world. Again, thank you.

[@jennifersamachetty2996]

Seriously the best baking channel on KZbin, what a talent! I use your recipes anytime I’m looking to bake.

[@bananashaveice]

I just made these cookies and they are delicious!! So easy & I love how my cat shaped cookies didn't spread in the oven because I followed your recipe & chilled it a second time before baking! Thank you so much! Take care.

[@lisaboban]

I had a serious "Ah ha!" moment when you showed rolling out the dough before chilling it. What a great idea!!! I've always hated the process of rolling out cold dough. I'm off to buy some butter. Thanks Stephanie!

[@Berenicka.poetry]

Hey Stephanie, honestly - one can never go wrong with your recipes!

[@jenipeachy]

I adore your cooking , you are my Julia Child’s ... I’ve been cooking your recipe’s for years now . Your American sponge got me through a heavy time when I lost my father . I baked it everyday as our house filled . I’m a daughter of 2 European chefs . My mother taught me a lot of baking , but I always have time to watch your how to . Thank you from the bottom of my heart for blessing uTube with your fine baking ,

[@joyofbaking]

Stephanie, My wife and I visited Edinburgh in August. And knowing that shortbread is a Scottish specialty, we bought several boxes of these cookies to take back home with us. We love them! However, I was so happy to come across your shortbread video that I can hardly wait to try your recipe myself! Thank you.

[@ewanp]

Mark Ledingham Actually my mum from Dundee makes the best shortbread.

[@denisemorton56]

You're my first stop for baking. Thank you Stephanie. Stay safe.

[@carolinalucenarosa1511]

Looked on a 1000 sites full of bla bla bla before actually giving you the recipe, and ended up once again on joyofbaking. Always the best! No frills, straight to the point and delicious recipes!!

[@zaras.448]

KZbin is a better place because of you and your work! Thank you and happy holidays! ♥️

[@CheloPerales]

The ratios seems to be 3:2:1. Flour/butter/sugar. [ Stephanie used, 2:1:1/2]. Back in the eighties there was a nun who had a very popular baking TV program in Buenos Aires. She also emphasized using good quality ingredients. She placed the chocolate in a bowl with boiling water. Let it in for a few minutes. Then poured out the water and used the soften chocolate. It worked great. Sister Bernarda, now baking sweets for the Lord.

[@the_specialista6319]

The best web ever. I have done several of her recipes and I have to say that she is the real deal, they always come out as she says. Many thanks Stephanie for your recipes and your time. Cheers from Spain

[@judystanford6858]

I just can’t believe that just these 3 ingredients can make such delicious cookies ❤️

[@bakewithela8327]

Thank you for sharing this recipe, looks amazing! I can't wait to try it.

[@NiaLin]

Perfect timing! No lie, I was just thinking yesterday while making snickerdoodles, that I also want to make shortbread cookies this week. Planned on looking thru KZbin videos/recipes today and here you are! It’s one of my most favorite cookies. I usually buy a Scottish shortbread cookie brand from World Market that’s excellent, but I really wanna make them homemade for a change. This recipe exactly fits the bill! Thanks so much for sharing this easy recipe & so timely too! It’s destined to be the newest addition to my Xmas cookie repertoire this week!

[@elenaw2052]

Stephanie, thank you so much! I made these cookies. It's soooo AMAZING!

[@daisyflowers4692]

Just cooled them and had a bite. Omg they are absolutely amazing!! They actually melt in one's mouth! Fantastic I just baked them a bit more till they were light brown all over because I like cookies to be nice and crunchy. Loved it! Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

[@glgdpeter]

I'm sure these would taste just as good as or even better than those Wakers' ones. You're just absolutely amazing in getting us closer to these wonderful cookies.

[@Jerry-Parker]

[@judystanford6858]

Great video, and thank you so much for saying about the sugar and also about the salt and also about the vanilla and wanting just the buttery flavor. That was so excellent of you ❤️

[@TheWindupBirdC]

I just would like to say that I haven't baked since I was a child, but needed to make some cookies for a work thing and this video saved my bacon! Thank you!

[@IngaHicks]

Love these cookies, delicate, soft and crumbly, nice texture, great with drinking coffee

[@jayashreeradhakrishnan2702]

Hi stephanie I'm an ardent and religious follower of all your recepie its so accurate and easy to make, used to bake at random but after my low days just happened to glance thru your baking and thts how I managed to be an expert thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart bless you.

[@AussieAngeS]

I’m late to comment I was in bed when you uploaded. Those shortbread cookies look fantastic I will be making them. Thank you Stephanie

[@jofree2975]

Thanks Stephanie for the recipe looks great. Hope you end your family have a marry Christmas and a happy new year. ✌💖🇺🇸

[@dharryg]

I added 1/2 tsp vanilla to this classic recipe. Now it tastes better than those ones we see in tin boxes at Christmastime. Perfect for me. I think it also pays to use the expensive, high fat butter with this great, minimalist recipe.

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

Great idea, thank you 😊

[@sankhadeeproy13]

Wow they look gorgeous😄

[@RamblinRick_]

I REALLY like that Stephanie provides the weights of ingredients in grams, not just volume. Makes it easier to scale-up/-down the recipe.

[@doroth215]

Thank you for sharing. These are simple ingredients that I already have at home, except for the Semi sweet chocolate that I would be buying so I can make this easy recipe.

[@sonianaranjo5571]

[@cheshkat6321]

My favorite cookies. Can't even tell you how often I make these. I use this recipe for pie crusts and tartlets and I am happy. I shape the dough into a log, chill, then slice with bench scraper. Since learning from you how to make these, I completely bypass the cookie aisle at the grocery store for years. With some toasted pecans and chocolate I can change them up for any occasion. Okay I admit to trying pecans in most sweets- just can't help myself.

[@HolyGhostGirlX]

Hi Stephanie. Greetings from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Yours was one of the best channels I've come across. Your recipes and methods are very easy to understand and simple to follow.

[@sheryldougherty282]

I enjoy your cooking videos. Easy to follow and yummy. I love this kitchen it looks so inviting and light, the big window is calming. Your new kitchen seems to be dark and closed in. I guess I’m a light person. Doesn’t matter with the kitchen your recipes are the best.

[@warmfluffysocks1404]

I just spent the last 3 hours wasting time & money on baking cookies (burnt), lemon loaves (undercooked), and a bar type of cookie (burned) . Literally, watching joy of baking makes me happy, saves my ego, & costs nothing!! :) ☆☆You keep baking girl!!!☆☆

[@TheBayArea831]

Ty! I made these last night. Anazing and easy. I seperated the dough into three batches, and added cocoa powder to one, and punk food coloring the the other. Rolled the small balls. Smashed them together. Came out as a tri-color cookie. My oven required 15mins to bake at 350. Going to make again today. The recipe made 12cookies. Im going to make double the batch for 2dozen cookies.

[@susanowens6393]

Cookies look delicious
