Christmas Season is always the BEST Time of the year for me and my family. It is time for me to bake some Christmas goodies to enjoy in the comfort of our sweet home while watching Hallmark Christmas Movies...
I kick start this year's Christmas baking with this Whipped Shortbread Holiday Cookies. These cookies are soft and melt-in-the-mouth; and Simple Yet Yummylicious! I am sharing this recipe with all my readers out there... hope you all enjoys baking them too.
Ingredients:
227 g. unsalted butter cookies (room temperature)
1/3 cup icing sugar/powdered sugar
1 3/4 cups plain flour (sifted)
1/4 cup cornflour/cornstarch (sifted)
a few drops of vanilla extract
Candied fruits, for topping
Methods:
- In a mixer bowl, add butter. Beat on high speed until the butter has turned a pale yellow colour and has achieved a super smooth texture.
- Add in icing sugar and beat until well combined.
- Add plain flour, cornflour and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed until the dough has completely come together and developed a light and airy texture.
- Scoop a portion of the dough, slightly roll to form a rough ball and place on a lined baking pan. Press some candied fruits onto the top of each cookies.
- Bake in a preheated oven of 160 degree Celsius for 11-13 minutes or until the cookies lose their sheen. Be sure to remove them from the oven before the edges begin to brown, so make sure to watch them carefully for the last 2 to 3 minutes they are in the oven. (Every oven is different, so this is good practice just to be safe).
- Let them cool on the pan until they cool to room temperature.
- Enjoy with a glass of delicious homemade hot chocolate, or your favorite latte, or a cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee!
