can this recipe be used in a cookie press?
Hi Mary, we haven't tested this in a cookie press, so it's hard to say. It may be too firm to use in the press, so we'd suggest using one of the spritz recipes on our site. Happy baking!
I dont know what I did wrong but mine didnt come out great :( im always trying to attempt this recipe and I just cant and I know these are amazing!
I think a key thing to remember when baking shortbread especially is to accurately measure the ingredients. This cookie has relatively few ingredients and so it is important to measure these ingredients carefully.
Excellent Cookies!! I made shortbread cookies with other recipes before and they came out very greasy, not the case with these!
I suggest doubling the recipe,as these freeze well. Great baking activity to do with "interested" grandchildren.
I make this cookies every year and everyone loves it.
