Christmas Baking at The Guest House

Whipped Shortbread:

This is one of the most favorite Christmas Baking recipes at The Guest House. I thought I would share it with all so for those who cannot join us this year - they can make them at their home. Enjoy and remember we are thinking of you and hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season.

I always do 2 batches

3 Cups Flour

2 Cups Butter

1 Cup Icing Sugar

You will need a stand mixer as you need to whip the ingredients for at least 10 minutes.

1) Add SOFT butter and mix for a minute or two

2) Add Flour & Icing Sugar - Mix start mixer slowly

3) Stop the mixer a couple of times during the mixing process to scrape down the dough from the sides of the bowl

4) The Mixture will be White & Fluffy when done

Drop by teaspoons onto cookie sheet lined with Parchment Paper

Top with either:

1/4 or 1/2 a Maraschino Cherry or

1/2 a Pecan

Sprinkled color sugar

or a combination of two

Bake @ 350' for 17-20 minutes. Make sure you watch them. The cookies should be light brown in color. They can burn fairly quickly. Bake on middle oven rack.

They freeze very well - Lay flat and cover completely to keep out freezer odor.

Enjoy

Seasons Greetings
