Butterscotch Shortbread Cookies #desserts #cookies

Envision my shock and joy. Rarely do I discover a move of treat batter in my cooler simply standing by to be prepared up.

I adore shortbread treats for that very reason – that you can do 95% of the work ahead of time and after that simply cut and heat when you're prepared. Presently, I don't ordinarily hold up 10 entire days, in any case, it's great to realize I can in the event that I have to.

I'm generally on the chase for simple treats that pack a genuine wow factor and shortbread treats fit the bill without fail. I adore shortbread for such a large number of reasons however one of those reasons is that as a treat, they are incredibly flexible.

Today, I'm sharing an alternate technique totally for making shortbread. Rather than cutting in virus spread with a pastry shaper as I do in my other shortbread recipes, this recipe requires a relaxed margarine.

So as to produce that brittle, flaky surface that shortbread is known for, a portion of the flour is subbed out for cornstarch. The other distinction you'll notice is the powdered sugar rather than granulated sugar that I'm utilizing in this recipe.

Shortbread treats are one of my top choices since they require only a bunch of fixings, no eggs, and almost no time. An excessive number of shortbread treats are over-prepared bringing about an excessively dry treat that isn't effectively delighted in. They extremely just need around 10 minutes and they're finished. They don't spread at all so don't search for that as an indication of doneness.
