Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your shortbread cookies.
  • Make sure your butter is cold and cubed. This will help to create a flaky texture in the cookies.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
