Assorted Shortbread Cookies Recipe So EASY & Delicious | ONLY 3 main ingredients
Assorted Shortbread Cookies – To be honest, I’m not quite a cookie person, but butter cookies or shortbread are my favourite cookies. My sister made these and she gave me as a gift during the Lunar festival, I was like wow, they are amazingly delicious. I want to make them too. This recipe is pretty amazing with only 3 main ingredients, flour, butter and sugar, yes that is all. I added cranberries, pistachios and almonds in 3 different variations respectively, vanilla, matcha and chocolate. Best gift for any festivals. If you have tried “Walkers” Shortbread (I also have a box here to compare), I can tell you these homemade shortbread are as delicious as Walkers or even better. As I was editing this video, I was craving for it and kept taking from my kitchen. Yummy!

Shortbread Cookies Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make shortbread cookies. Shortbreads are one of my favorite cookies. Scottish in origin, this rich, tender and crumbly straw colored biscuit (cookie) was once only served during Christmas and New Year's Eve. In its most basic form, shortbreads are made with just three ingredients, butter, sugar, and flour.
