Buttery, Melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread Cookies

[@Daughter_of_the_MostHigh]

I appreciate so much, that you have the written instructions in the description, it makes it so easy just to write it down real quick and not going to treasure hunt through different websites

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad it’s helpful. 😊

[@louisefulcher193]

Luke is adorable! Such a great “helper.”

[@jslezak57]

Thank you for the recipe!!!! I've made THREE batches in the past two days and each batch was perfect. The recipe is so easy and works out perfectly (be sure to follow the directions to add the flour in three additions - it makes a definite difference in the dough). I appreciate the fact that your recipe is in metric grams. Over the past several years, I have dumped the traditional "scoop and measure" method for weighing all ingredients. The result has been consistent results EVERY TIME. I can't wait to try your other recipes :)

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad you enjoyed them! I love weighing all of my ingredients. It’s so much easier and more accurate. 😊

[@jeffsetgo]

Thank you Sam.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank YOU! Enjoy!

[@philspear73]

I bet almond extract would be good too! Looks amazing!

[@BeforeMoviesSucked]

Some say that Christmas begins in December. Some say it begins after Veterans Day. Some say it begins after Thanksgiving. To me, it begins when there's an abrupt resurgence of shortbread cookies. 😋 Thanks, Sam!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Haha I love that. Enjoy! :)

[@Kryhavok6010]

Made these yesterday - they are delicious... I rolled some out thin and left some a little thicker... I love the thin ones plain, family liked the thicker with the chocolate dip...Another great recipe!

[@denisecurtis872]

I bought this mixer and I’m obsessed! The scraper beaters and the spotlight makes a real difference. Thank you

[@SugarSpunRun]

YES isn't it great!?

[@luxaeterna9383]

These are a staple where I'm from (the Balkans), such a classic cookie for holiday season and all year round really. Thank you for sharing this recipe ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

They are so good! :)

[@trishcovich1923]

What a beautiful mum and darling little boy. Merry Christmas.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well! 😊

[@sewcrazybaker]

I love Shortbread cookies, and homemade is the absolute best! I'll have to buy some European butter. I saw some at my grocery store and I think they're carrying it just for ME! Luke is adorable!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! I hope you love these cookies! :)

[@lindsayb1329]

I made these for my family and they were definitely worth it! Changing the butter used, you can really tell the difference

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m glad you enjoyed them! The butter really is important. 😊

[@RealZoo]

I made these yesterday and they were delicious. The dough started to crack when I began rolling it out but it was an easy fix. This recipe is a keeper!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much! 😊

[@coolstamper]

Yummmmm!!! I’ve heard that when shortbread cookie dough starts to crack, that’s when it’s time to roll them out!!! 💕

[@tranicahardy3855]

After you make the dough you have to put it in the fridge for 30mins to an hour

[@yukixstar628]

Tried your recipe last Christmas and it was perfect. It was so buttery, melt in your mouth and not overly sweet. Then I put some glaced cherries on top to make it more festive. Now this one is just in time for Valentines day ❤

[@samanthamarbury]

love it ! we put nutela in the middle and made a sandwitch out of it.

[@SugarSpunRun]

That sounds awesome! 😊

[@trishcovich1923]

How lovely and merry Christmas to your beautiful family

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! Merry Christmas! :)

[@Scorpion4646]

This is the fastest I have ever made a recipe from the time of upload! I just did a quarter batch and pressed the dough into snowflake molds to make 4 cookies. Absolutely delicious! Will make a full batch to share very soon

[@SugarSpunRun]

That's awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed them! :)

[@MyName-zd9pe]

I have Amish butter, hopefully the cookies will turn out just as good. Thank you for the recipe, I usually make all my cookies homemade, but buy those Scottish buttery shortbread cookies at the store. God bless. 💖🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸

[@SugarSpunRun]

I bet they'll be delicious with Amish butter! Enjoy!

[@cjboac9864]

Amish butter makes this cookie recipe absolutely fabulous! So much better than all the others!👍❣️

[@cjboac9864]

Also, I sift the flour! Much better!

[@Daughter_of_the_MostHigh]

[@karengaudiosi9390]

I want to add this to my annual cookie collection - and love the idea of using European butter!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! :)

[@ruthannecoro6198]

Oh Sam.. you’re making my cookie list longer.. I think I’m going to add these with a local homemade butter .. these look lovely!

Another cute appearance from Mr. Luke😂 I love shortbread cookies! Will definitely be making these❤

If there's cookies, he's around! He's like a shark that smells blood in the water. 🤣 I hope you love these! :)

[@heidi6418]

Happy I found your recipe. I’m trying to make shortbread sandwich cookies. I did not follow your instructions about adding the flour in a little bit at a time. Next time I will lol.

[@mrs.m.b.3630]

Thank you! ❤

[@jasonf9325]

I dabble in baking and have made a cake (just one), cookies, nanaimo bars etc. But, this was my first time making shortbread cookies and they turned out great. I'm not used to rolling dough so when it started cracking (big ones) on the edges, I was worried. But I just rolled the cracks closed and kept going until it was 1/4" thick. Currently cooling while my better half is using the kitchen to make supper. Was adorable that you basically asked Luke to like and subscribe.🤣

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣 I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! I hope you love everything you try! :)

[@1006kathleen]

I love your little boy Luke ' he is so adorable ! And thank you for this cool recipe " love shortbread ! 💖💕🎉❤⭐

I made these today and it was so delicious. This is definitely on my list of holiday baking. Thank you so much for the recipe and taking the time to explain each step. Happy Holidays!

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

These are so necessary during the holidays! Love!

[@readergirl101]

✨I was looking around the internet to see what to bake and I decided to … *cue the angelic music* come to your channel to see what to make and *angelic music again* short bread cookies for my mom and absolutely perfect idea and don’t get me started on how much I cracked up when the stand mixer was left all alone!😂 on a serious note though she is absolutely amazing!🤩 😍✨

[@kimdelorme6314]

Love your bloopers❤❤❤❤Your son is so cute and smart!❤❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! :)

[@kaffepojke]

I'm about ready to start a batch of these shortbread cookies, but for the next time I make them I was wondering if you have ever made them with a different style of flour: ie: bread flour or cake flour? Interesting possibilities. Looking forward to these delicious cookies.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have not tried with bread or cake flour so I can't say for sure how they would turn out.

[@arianemariano3807]

I love shortbread cookies. I definitely need to make these! ❤👍🏼🎅🏼

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hope you enjoy!! :)

Sam, any tips on how to revive hardened brown sugar & how to keep it from hardening?

[@bobbyfitzgerald4165]

Microwave it. That revives it

I love them! They look great, going to try! Thank you🥰

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

[@crystaldawn8875]

And use your BESTEST Vanilla too..ooooo sooooo yummyriffico❤🎉

[@dhs2060]

Sam were did you get your scooper for your canister?? I love them.Definitely making those delicious shortbread

[@SugarSpunRun]

I found them on amazon! They're stainless steel scoops and I love them. Here is my affiliate link: amzn.to/47yzODa

[@robertgrey6101]

You can have your cookies!! I'll have shortbread biscuits, thank you.

[@CruzCruz-nw7fi]

To me that’s what Christmas is all cookies cakes pies and if ur good enough candy 🍭, that’s all I want to eat at Christmas

[@SugarSpunRun]

Sounds like a good idea to me! :)

[@HortonzEgg]

Thank you Sam and Merry Christmas! Can this dough be spread into a pan for baking?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You're welcome! Merry Christmas! This will work being spread into a pan. :)

[@HortonzEgg]

Thank you Sam! I appreciate your response at such a busy time of year.

[@HortonzEgg]

Thank you Sam! I appreciate your response at such a busy time of year. One more question - if I'm using a 9x13 pan, could you recommend a baking temp and time? I understand if you haven't made them this way you may not have an answer.

[@SugarSpunRun]

@HortonzEgg the temperature would remain the same but I can’t be sure on a bake time. Let me know how it goes!

[@HortonzEgg]

Will do!@@SugarSpunRun

[@mowens4551]

Love your channel ❤ I will definitely be trying out this recipe 👍👌🥰 What scoop do you use for your flour?

[@anneperera-nr2ys]

Is powdered sugar same as icing sugar? Or is it soft sugar or blended granulated sugar... please let me know, looks so yummy❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

Same as icing sugar :)

[@charlottekearn5185]

These look so good, I love shortbread cookies. Recently I made your apple pie cheesecake, it was a hit and I mean a hit. Making your peppermint cheesecake for a function next Monday, I know it will be delicious too. Now I have to squeeze these cookies in somewhere. If I want to make squares instead of using a cookie cutter do I just roll thin like these and cut into 2 inch squares and use same baking time?

[@pheona1164]

Thank you for this. I usually follow your recipes off your website, but today I strayed. I made someone else's recipe and it tasted like pancakes. I'll never try another again.

[@trishcovich1923]

Can I use icing sugar instead of granulated sugar. Is it the same? Thanks

[@SugarSpunRun]

I don’t recommend granulated sugar. Icing sugar is the same as powdered sugar so it will work. 😊

[@trishcovich1923]

@SugarSpunRun Thanks so much. Just about to pop first Bach of three in oven. Your recipe made it to my Christmas table in New Zealand.

[@terripaeth8248]

Making now

[@SugarSpunRun]

Enjoy! :)

[@helenarpin9470]

Will doubling or tripling the recipe be a good idea or stick to one batch at a time?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You should be able to double it without issues. 😊

[@mammasita3511]

Can i use cake flour? Also can you come up with a chicolate versiin?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't tried cake flour, but if substituted properly it could probably work. I just perfected my chocolate shortbread cookie today. I'm not sure if I will get a video out, but I will be posting it on my blog shortly. :) sugarspunrun.com/

[@franceslh9648]

Luke is so cute 😂

[@SovereignSelf2095]

Can I freeze the dough as a disc then thaw when I’m ready to bake?

[@SugarSpunRun]

That should work. :)

[@mehjabeenjable3632]

Hi I wanted to know the purpose for chilling the dough an also I don't have cutter could I press the dough til flat

[@angelatruly]

I am going to try this recipe today. I was actually looking something close to a Walker or Scottish shortbread. Would you share that if it is in your recipes? TIA

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

Could you adapt Lemon 🍋 flavor to this ? If so how .. in place of the vanilla ?

[@carolcarter865]

Absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe ❤

[@realsushrey]

Did the big mixer break? Was it sad that it was not being used? As a new viewer, I have many questions.

[@shellyannpurcell1760]

Is the corn starch necessary? Or i used cake flour?

[@JoyceCostandino]

Can you use this recipe for thumbprint cookies❓

[@SugarSpunRun]

I wouldn't recommend it, but I do have a thumbprint cookie. :) sugarspunrun.com/thumbprint-cookies/

[@thefunny3589]

Can you use almond flour?

[@mitchellrobless360]

can i keep it the fridge for 2 days

[@ShantellMonique-b6d]

Make more cake and muffin recipes

[@Gemma6043]

I need to know exactly how to make the dip - with white chocolates, the texture of the dip is really hard to perfect for cookies

[@SugarSpunRun]

I just melt about a cup in the microwave. I cook it for a few seconds at a time, remove and stir, then repeat until melted. :)

[@annference4500]

Can you please tell me what a third of a cup of cornstarch weighs in grams please

[@joudfallaha5049]

Hello from Aleppo City Could be so kind as to Mention the weight of the each Ingredient Thanks and regards

[@SugarSpunRun]

Weights are all listed in the description 🙂

[@rollonmom]

Can you use gluten free flour as long as you xathum gum?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with using gluten free flour so I can't say for sure how it would turn out. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. :)

[@nancyspradling1131]

Nearly identical to my grandmother’s recipe from 70 years ago!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Soooo good! :)

[@kaylamosta4024]

can i use salted butter

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes, just leave out the salt

[@SamukelisiweNgcobo-fe2rb]

Im in love with your boy his cute just like you Sam ♥️💋🌸

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

This is the same recipe as your Whipped Shortbread except that creaming time is much shorter and this dough gets chilled prior to baking.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Makes sense ☺️

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

@@SugarSpunRun Excellent. It's nice to have a single recipe that can produce two differently textured cookies.♥

[@Barbbeshears]

😊

[@annabrahamson4320]

Also if you use measuring cups fluf your flour with a spoon, don't pack it leval with knife.

[@4America2024]

❤

[@rosalieholdaway6017]

Lụe is sio cute

[@charlieterry6483]

after carefully doing the math for 22 minutes it appears that you left enough cookie remanence on your spatula and in the bowl for about two more cookies 🤔

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣

[@mariamajalloh9161]

Hi

[@harleyinred]

put some finely chopped nuts on the chocolate part 😁
