- Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of salted butter
- 1/2 cup of hard margarine
- 1/2 cup of icing sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- Instructions
- Whip the margarine, butter and icing sugar together well. You can use all butter for sure,then it is a shortbread for the purist.
- Once it looks all deliciously creamy, resist from eating it by the spoonful, and get your flour ready.
- Start the mixer and slowly add in the flour, until it has all been added in.
- Then you can proceed to let your mixer do all the work for you and whip it for 6 minutes. You are wanting lighter than air shortbread here.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet. Top with sprinkles or a piece of Christmas cherry.
- Bake them in a 275 degree oven for about 30-35 minutes you want to dry out shortbread in essence, not bake it, thus the low temperature.
- (If you have a warm kitchen or live in a warm climate, cool the cookies in the fridge then bake. They won't flatten out)
