Whipped Shortbread
Servings: 48
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- Candy canes crushed
- Small candied cherries cut in half
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F (150C)
- Using low-speed of an electric mixer beat butter until creamy. Mix in flour and icing sugar until dough comes together. At medium speed beat about 6 minutes. This step takes time. The dough needs time to turn from cookie dough into whipped dough but yet not be over whipped. Once you've reached the whipped stage they are ready to bake. Drop from spoon onto parchment lined baking sheet roughly 3 across (1-2 inches apart).
- Press either candied cherry piece, crushed candy canes or Christmas sprinkles into centre of each unbaked cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes turning & rotating half way through for even cooking until lightly golden around edges. Let cookies sit for 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer to cookie racks to let cool. Store in airtight container between layers of parchment or wax paper.
