- Assorted Shortbread Cookies - To be honest, I’m not quite a cookie person, but butter cookies or shortbread are my favourite cookies. My sister made these and she gave me as a gift during the Lunar festival, I was like wow, they are amazingly delicious. I want to make them too. This recipe is pretty amazing with only 3 main ingredients, flour, butter and sugar, yes that is all. I added cranberries, pistachios and almonds in 3 different variations respectively, vanilla, matcha and chocolate. Best gift for any festivals. If you have tried “Walkers” Shortbread (I also have a box here to compare), I can tell you these homemade shortbread are as delicious as Walkers or even better. As I was editing this video, I was craving for it and kept taking from my kitchen. Yummy!

4. Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper, one half side of the parchment paper, so that the other side can be used to cover the top.
5. Roll out the dough to about 6mm thick. Use a scraper to shape the sides neatly and evenly. Cover back the dough with the parchment paper.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until it is hardened.
7. After 1 hour, cut the dough into the size or shape you desire. Place the cookie dough onto a baking pan.

I made the chocolate shortbread and the recipe was peeeerfect. It's so satisfying taking the slab of dough out of the fridge. I cut mine evenly and then for a few of them I piped in a chocolate icing and it was fantastic! these cookies definitely taste even better the day after as well.
These all look perfect! I will be making lots of cookies this weekend and this would be a perfect addition! 🙂

Nice. Thanks for sharing.
I just tried it now... I think I added too much flour because I just wanted to make the vanilla one, and it was late when I realized I had to separate them. I was confused and my short bread crumbled as I cut through it from the freezer.😔. Though tastes nice. But was just breaking apart😥
Will try again I guess. Cheers

That looks so awesome Fiona !! I’m definitely trying out these 🤗
Can you please tell me any substitute for matcha ?
Hi dear. If you can't find matcha or don't desire them, you can always replace with anything green you can find, I have come across pea flour which is green. Alternatively, without the greens, you can replace the same amount with any flour or ground almonds
@@gracioustreatz7231 thanks a ton for the help❤️
@@gracioustreatz7231 Instead of chopping the pistachios like you did could I blitz them up into a powder then use that as my flour substitute? I really want the pistachio flavor to be strong. Some of the shortbread recipes I've used in the past are softer after baking. Can I do that with these? How long would you suggest they bake for to get them softer? I have a freshly opened bag that I need to use up. These would make a perfect bake to just do that... 😋
Awesome recipe 💕

Hi Fiona! Thanks for the great recipe once again ! Could you suggest what alternatives we could use instead of cranberries please? Many thanks!!

Hi these look so delicious.. can we replace all purpose flour with wholewheat flour please?
Hi🌿🌿✨✨Cookies are my all-time favourite 'tea buddies'🤗 Cranberry cookies are my❤️.Thanks for sharing will add on to my buddy list❤️❤️👍👍🌿🌿✨✨
Yes yes, the cranberries are my big time favourite as I love pure butter fragrant and I love the fact the cranberries make a chewy texture
@@gracioustreatz7231 exactly❤️❤️
Good recipe 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely
hi fiona may i know, 1)should we toast/bake the nuts 1st? if yes what is the tempreture & how long? thank u in advance. 2) can i use a machine cutter/blender to make the cranberry finer?
Can i substitude butter for coconut oil ? Thanks so much ! Love your recipes❤︎♡︎♥︎
Is there any particular reason for using coconut oil? Shortbread normally used butter based. Perhaps vegan butter, margarine or even ghee, will work too 💖
@@gracioustreatz7231 Yes, my mom hates eating shortbread cookies based on butter. Been experimenting cookies using coconut oil, and it’s not successful. Guess I’ll just have to keep trying. Thanks for replying, big fan here.❤️
Supper 👌👌👌👌👌👌
We call these cookies Karachi cookies. (: and I have the same spatula as yours :D
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. (:
Wow
Hi Fiona the recipe looks awesome.. you have an amazing channel..
Yummmm
Plz also give a eggless recipe of almond Biscotti
Hi, I am creaming the butter and sugar with a spatula as I don’t have a mixer so can I use icing sugar instead of fine sugar, will it affect the texture of the cookies? Thank you.
Wowilovit,😁😊😝😍😘🤗👌😋
hi teacher, can i use icing sugar instead of fine sugar?
Suuperb👏👏👏👍👍
Awesome
Hi, can I use cake flour instead of All purpose flour? Thank you
Yes you can
I love them! The green ones are my favourite since they feature pistachios :D do matcha taste strong in those cookies? They look amazing, Fiona, love three taste in just one batch
Hi Valentina. If you've tried green tea, that's what matcha taste like. Without sugar, there's a little bitterness in green tea. I'm not a big fan of matcha, but this will be a nice variations to make cookies some natural colours instead of adding colouring to them. They are very easy and delicious I have to say. You have a wonderful week ahead! 💖💕💞
@@gracioustreatz7231 They all look fantastic, my fave type of cookies, shortbread. Thanks much for sharing these variations! 🍪
Colours in green.
Hi, if i want to bake only matcha pistachio shortbread and not the other 2, what's the exact measurements of the ingredients? thanks
75g [⅓cup] unsalted butter, softened*
33g [2 tbsp] fine sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
100g [¾ cup + 1 tbsp] all-purpose flour
10g [2 tbsp] matcha powder
25g [¼ cup] pistachios nuts, chopped
You may find the amount is too little, you can double this measurements
Can i replace some wholemeal flour with it... 😀
yummy :D
Delusions ❤
Hi dear can we use cake flour instead?
Yes you can
Can I replace plain flour with superfine flour and cake flour?
Yes you can. Cake flour can also be used for most cookies
@@gracioustreatz7231 I made these cookies today and it turns out well. Btw for chocolate version, I've added little pinch of cinnamon powder and superfine black pepper for extra flavour. Smells good too 👍👍👍
0:13 Whats That Black Board Called Is It On Amazon? Nice Vid Btw
Rock stone plate, yes it's available on Amazon ☺️
@@gracioustreatz7231 Thank You Sooo Much I Am A Huge Fan I Always Try Your Recipes Love From Libya 🇱🇾 ❤️ I Cant Say How Grateful I Am
請問砂糖可以換成糖粉、中筋麵粉換成低筋麵粉嗎謝謝
Can i make them without oven?in the stove??
I want to make only vanilla cookies, how much butter and flour to use?
For 226g of butter use 339g of flour and 3/4 cup dried cranberries. This will yield 3 batches of vanilla shortbread cookies. However, if you would like to make 1 batch of vanilla shortbread cookies, use: 75.3g butter, 113g flour, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, and 33.3g sugar.
Hi to you
So there is no baking soda or baking powder mix into it right? Please advice
Hi. No I didn't add. It's not needed in this recipe ☺️
Hello madam can you please tell for how many mins oven should be preheated. Thank you
Yummm😍😍😍
❤❤❤
Can these cookies be made with vegan butter?
Yes you can
How many pieces will this make? About your size
😃😍😍😍
What is matcha powder?
Green tea powder
Nice💝💝💝👌✌💘💘
They look to 'hard' (firm). Scottish Shortbread should just 'crumble' into two halves.
Especially as it's so buttery.
A shortbread lover in Scotland... 🍪 &☕
What is matcha powder
It's green tea powder ☺️
