Insane and Best Whipped Shortbread
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: Approximately 20 depending on size 1x
- Category: Cake, Cupcakes, Cookies and Tarts
Description
For this recipe I double the ingredients as 1 batch of cookies is not enough. While at it, you may well make it 4 times, as they are as light as cloud puffs with a delicious buttery flavor.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F
Combine flour, sugar, and butter and mix with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, (approx. 10 minutes).
Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet.
Press glazed cherry into each cookie and bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.

Why did my shortbread cookies come out flat?
Cookies spread because the fat in the cookie dough melts in the oven. If there isn’t enough flour to hold that melted fat, the cookies will over-spread. Spoon and level that flour or, better yet, weigh your flour. If your cookies are still spreading, add an extra 2 Tablespoons of flour to the cookie dough
When making shortbread should the butter be cold?
Start with butter that’s refrigerator-cold to prevent the dough from warming up too fast, which would make it greasy and difficult to roll. If the dough does get soft or sticky as you’re
rolling or cutting it, just put it in the refrigerator for 10 or 15 minutes to chill the butter.
What do I do if my shortbread is too crumbly?
But if it’s too crumbly, you have basically two choices: you can add more butter (or whatever fat you used in place of butter), or you can add a little liquid. If you choose to add liquid, I recommend kneading in one tablespoon at a time until the dough is just barely crumbly but holds its shape when pressed together.
Can I leave shortbread dough in the fridge overnight?
The dough (and its variations) can be prepared and refrigerated overnight or frozen for up to 3 months, covered tightly with plastic wrap; thaw the frozen dough overnight in the refrigerator before using. The baking time for each variety of shortbread will vary depending on the kind of pan and cutters used.
