Valentine's Shortbread Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
Recipe :
-
Step 1 Prepare a dough for the cookies
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a hand mixer, cream the butter and icing sugar together for a couple of minutes. Add the vanilla and 1/2 tsp salt and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Add the flour gradually until your mixture has formed a dough.
-
Step 2 Cut cookies from the dough and refrigerate
Sprinkle some flour onto your work surface and roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out your cookie shapes with a cookie cutter. On half the cookies, cut out a smaller heart shape in the centre. Place cookies on baking tray and place tray in the refrigerator to chill while the oven is preheating.
-
Step 3 Bake the cookies
Bake the cookies for 8 minutes or until edges turn slightly brown. Sprinkle a layer of icing sugar on top of the baked cookies that had a smaller heart-shaped cutout. Once all the cookies are cooled, melt the white chocolate. Then spread a layer of melted white chocolate on the full cookies (ones that are not cut out). Let the chocolate sit for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator.
-
Step 4 Spread the jam on the cookies
Spread a layer of raspberry jam on top of the chocolate. Place the cut out cookies on top. Surprise your loved ones with this cute and delicious raspberry and white chocolate heart-shaped shortbread cookies.
Tips :
-
You can also use normal or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
-
Strawberry jam will also work for these shortbread cookies if you do not have raspberry jam.
-
Ensure that the cookies are not too thick. All the cookies should all be equal and even when it comes to thickness.
