Piped shortbread cookies
These Christmas shortbread cookies are quick to make and require just a few basic ingredients. You’ll love their very buttery taste and light crunch, they melts in your mouth!
How To Make Piped Christmas Shortbread Cookies
The main thing is to have the butter at room temperature. Whip it with the icing sugar using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment if you have one, or by hand with a spatula. Once the texture is light and fluffy, incorporate the flour and cornstarch.
Use a piping bag to shape small cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. The cookies are going to spread so try not to make them too big and leave some space between each of them.
Put a half glazed cherry in the center of each cookie and bake for 12 to 14 minutes at 320°F – 160°C. The cookies should stay pretty white.
Allow to cool down before storing in a metal tin container with paper towel or parchment paper in the bottom.
You can give these cookies many shapes. One common way is to make a “S” shape, and dip half of the cookie in chocolate.
