Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make shaped shortbread cookies for children in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it is at room temperature and easier to mash. In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar and mash until the sugar is completely dissolved. You will learn all the intricacies of making shortcrust pastry by reading the article on this topic, following the link at the end of the recipe.

Step 2

Step 2
Beat one chicken egg into the resulting mass. Stir. To make the process quicker and easier, you can use a mixer.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift the flour through a sieve and mix with a pinch of soda. Add flour into the butter mixture little by little and knead into a stiff dough. You may need a little less or more flour, depending on the properties of the flour itself. Read more about this in the article at the end of the recipe. Important! Do not knead the dough for a long time, otherwise the cookies will be hard.

Step 4

Step 4
Wrap the dough in film and put it in the refrigerator for an hour. This will make the dough easier to work with and the finished cookies will be more tender.

Step 5

Step 5
Then roll it out into a layer about a centimeter thick and cut out the cookies using cookie cutters. Please note that the thinner the dough, the harder the cookies will be. For me, about 1 centimeter thick is optimal — this way the cookies turn out soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Step 6

Step 6
Place it on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. The time may be different, rely on the operation of your oven (the baking time also determines whether the cookies will be soft or hard, do not overcook them!). Read about Parchment and how ovens work in separate articles below the steps.

Step 7

Step 7
The finished cookies should be browned. Serve homemade shaped shortbread cookies with hot tea. Children enjoy eating it with hot or cold milk. Enjoy your tea!
