Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make melt-in-your-mouth shortbread? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance and leave at room temperature until it becomes soft. I do not recommend replacing butter with margarine in these cookies. It is with butter that the cookie structure becomes crumbly and soft. Margarine produces harder cookies.

Step 2

Step 2
In a convenient deep bowl, combine soft butter and sugar. To make the butter softer faster, you can cut it into pieces.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat the butter and sugar a little with a mixer. The sugar will begin to dissolve, and the butter itself will become fluffier and lighter.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour starch into the butter mixture and add a pinch of vanillin. Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Gradually add flour and knead the dough.

Step 5

Step 5
Donʼt pour out all the flour at once. It is convenient to knead the dough with a wooden spatula. It quickly absorbs flour. As soon as the dough no longer sticks to your hands, do not add any more flour. The finished dough is very soft and tender.

Step 6

Step 6
The dough can be piped into cookies using a pastry bag with a nozzle. A thin disposable bag will not work here — the dough will tear it. Take a silicone bag. The dough can also be rolled out and cut into any shape.

Step 7

Step 7
Bake cookies in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes. The cookies will turn a delicious golden color. Remove it from the oven, cool slightly and enjoy. Bon appetit!
