How to make Shortbread cookies
Kurabye cookies, familiar to many since childhood, are golden-ruddy in color, crispy on top, crumbly, and soft and tender inside. This is a personalized cookie, but without jam. Optionally, you can add it. Cook it easily and quickly! Such cookies are a great option for serving with freshly brewed coffee.
Step-by-step recipe
1. |
In a deep bowl, put the soft butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, salt. Beat with a mixer into a fluffy light mass. |
2. |
Add the protein and whisk until smooth. |
3. |
Pour in the sifted flour mixed with vanilla sugar. Knead a soft sticky dough with a spatula. The dough can not be kneaded for a long time. Since the butter will start to melt, you will have to add more flour, and therefore, the dough will be steep and will not be squeezed out of the pastry bag. Well, the cookies will turn out solid and not crumbly. So… speeding up)) |
4. |
We transfer the dough into a pastry bag with a toothed nozzle «closed star». We cover the baking sheet with parchment and place the kurabye cookies at a distance from each other. The center of the cookie is usually filled with jam. You can replace it with jam or not very liquid jam. I’m not an amateur, so I have no jam. Bake shortbread cookies in a preheated oven at a temperature of 200 degrees for 15 minutes. |
5. |
The cookies are slightly browned — we take it out of the oven. |
