Tips:

  • For the perfect shortbread texture, use cold butter and cream cheese. This will help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape even more.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to drizzle the frosting over the cookies.
