Recipe For Christmas Cookies

This recipe makes 28 thick Christmas shortbread cookies.


Equipment:
  • Non-stick baking sheets or well greased and line baking trays
  • Metal Christmas shaped cutters


Just Add Prepare
• 6 oz/180 gm unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 1/2 cups plain flour

• 1/2 cup cornflour

• 4 multi-colored glace cherries
• Preheat oven to 350F/180C

• In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar. But take care not to burn it. Take it off the heat immediately as soon as the butter has melted

• Keep stirring to combine the mixture till it is thick and well blended. It will go from quite oily to a thick mixture

• Add beaten egg. Combine

• Add the plain and corn flours. Combine

• The batter will become quite thick and crumbly, but as you stir, it becomes a dough and will stick together, just like in the photo

• It's now time to cut out the cookies. It's so much easier to work in smaller chunks, so break the dough into thirds. Place this small roll onto a lightly floured chopping board

• Cut it into slices about 1/3 inch thick

• Using your fingers and the heel of your hand, squash it flatter, spreading out the dough. It will be about 1/4 inch thick

• Apply the Christmas cutter. Wriggle it around so as to move the excess dough away from the shaped cookie

• Using a blunt knife, transfer the shaped cookies onto the cookie sheet

• Repeat till all the dough is used up

• Decorate with tiny cut pieces of glace cherries. It's much easier to use a pair of scissors to slice them up, than using a little paring knife

• You may want to leave a few to decorate when cool, or just leave as plain

• Bake for no more than 10 minutes. It should not even be brown

• Leave them to cool before removing them to a serving plate or to an air-tight cookie jar


Your children will also have great fun with this recipe for Christmas treats! When they are cool, use decorative gel to decorate to their hearts content.
