Description
A shortbread-like cookie, ideally made with a cookie press and topped with a dab of jam.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 tablespoons butter (200g), softened
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (100g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups flour (320g)
- 1/3 cup corn or potato starch (50g)
- pinch of salt
- marmalade or jam for decorating cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C)
- Beat the butter and egg yolk until light. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mix until well combined.
- Slowly blend in the flour, corn or potato starch, and salt, don’t over mix.
- Using a star or flower disc on a cookie press, pipe cookies onto a baking sheet. They will not expand much, so you can put them as close together as your cookie press allows. (Or roll the dough into small balls, place on a baking sheet, and make an indentation with your thumb). Add a small amount (1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon) of jam to the center of the cookie.
- Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, until the butter cookies are just becoming golden around the edges. Cool on the pan before removing.
