Servings12 big cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup coco powder
- 1 no egg
Instructions
- To a mixing bowl - add butter, powdered sugar.
- Whisk it well to form a smooth creamy mixture. I used chilled butter so it took sometime to make it creamy.
- Beat an egg until light in a separate bowl.
- Add this to butter sugar mixture. Whisk it well for even mixing.
- Add vanilla essence. Sift flour, coco powder and add it.
- Mix well and gather together to a form a soft dough.
- Cling wrap and refrigerate for an hour. (this is for making the dough firm so that while baking it doesn't spread).
- Then on a butter paper, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness, then cut using your favourite shaped cookie cutters.
- Collect the scraps, roll again until you finish the entire dough. If you feel sticky then slightly flour the cookie cutters before using it.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven at 180 deg C for 10 mins.
- Line butter paper on the cookie tray and transfer the shaped cookies to the butter paper – I chilled the cookies at this stage for 10 mins while the oven was preheating.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the cookies at 180 deg C for 10-12 mins.
- Cool down completely on a wire rack then store. Enjoy Chocolate Shortbread Cookies!
Notes
- You can have this as a basic cookie recipe and have many variations, like you can make as plain vanilla cookies or add choco chips etc.
- When its out from the oven, it will be soft later it will become crisp so don't be tempted to bake more than the mentioned time.
