3 Ingredient Christmas Shortbread
I do love a good shortbread at Christmas time. And shortbread makes a really great food gift too for Grandparents and neighbours. This recipe only has three ingredients and is so simple, even the kids could make it.
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
-
Add the butter and caster sugar to a mix master or similar and mix on high until creamed and light and fluffy.
-
Slowly add the plain flour, a little at a time to the mix. The mixture should resemble a thick dough.
-
Place the dough on a floured board and roll out to approximately 4mm thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out any shapes you desire.
-
Transfer the cookies to a cookie tray lined with baking paper.
-
Cook for 10 - 12 minutes. Remove from the tray and place the cookies on a rack to cool.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- The dough can be frozen for up to two months. Once mixed, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze (with the use-by date).
