AUNT DOT'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES

This is my Aunt Dorothy's recipe. She would always serve these melt-in-your-mouth,unbelieveable tasting cookies. Aunt Dot, also my Godmother, always made hers with peach preserves, as do I. They are easy to do and prep time includes chilling. My original copy is in pretty bad shape, so I wanted to post here for safe keeping, and even though she is gone now, I know she would be thrilled I posted her recipe for all to enjoy.

Dulse Shortbread Cookies image

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and rice flours, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 2 tablespoons of the dulse granules. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon dulse in a small bowl and reserve for sprinkling over the top of the shortbreads.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy and lightened in color, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Turn off the mixer, add the flour mixture all at once, then return the mixer to its lowest speed until the flour is incorporated and the mixture is the texture of crumbly wet sand, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer to the prepared tart pan and use your hands or the bottom of a cake pan to press the mixture into an even layer. Bake until the shortbread is set and the edges are golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Remove the outer ring of the tart pan, then carefully transfer the shortbread onto a cutting board, using a paring knife to separate the pan bottom if necessary. Brush the shortbread with the egg mixture, then evenly sprinkle all of the dulse-salt mixture over the top. Slice into 16 wedges and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Return to the oven and bake until the egg wash is set, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer the shortbreads back to the wire rack to cool completely before serving.

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons (300 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (35 grams) white rice flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons (15 grams) dulse seaweed granules
8 ounces (226 grams) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature (58 to 62°F)
1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
1 large egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water

MY SHORTBREAD COOKIES

ohemgee, these are melt in your mouth shortbread cookies! THE ONLY shortbread recipe you'll ever need! ...I didnt like when my mother baked them because I'd eat them all and I don't like to share! Even freezing them doesn't help as they are delicious frozen too. ...**If you dont have cake flour, its easy to make! Measure 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Then measure out 3 tablespoons of that flour and replace with 3 tbsp of cornstarch! Sift at least 4 times to get it well incorporated!**

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 360.
  • In a mixer stand on 2 or 4, cream butter and vanilla, then add in the cream. I do this for about 5 minutes to get creamy texture.
  • On stir or lowest stand setting, Add in the cake flour, icing sugar. Combine until you get a smooth creamy dough.
  • Spoon 2 teaspoons of dough on a parchment line pan. With a clean finger tip, poke a well in the middle of the cookie, spoon 1/2 teaspoon or less bit in of your favorite jam.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges begin to get golden brown, like in my picture!
  • Enjoy! :).

GRANDMA'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES

These are the "Melt in your Mouth" type of shortbread cookies that you can't have just one! Whenever I make these for the Christmas holidays, I need to make extras, protect them while they cool and hide them once they are packaged so that the family doesn't consume them all before the Christmas gathering!

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, slowly add flour. Mix until well combined.
  • Evenly spread cookie dough into prepared tart pan. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sprinkle shortbread with sanding sugar. Using a 2-inch round fluted cookie cutter, make a shallow cut in the center of the dough. Using the tines of a fork, score dough from the edge of the circle in the center toward the edge of the pan into 12 equal wedges.
  • Transfer tart pan to oven and bake until light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the shortbread comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Immediately re-score circle and wedges with cookie cutter and the tines of a fork. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 1 hour. Remove shortbread from tart pan and let cool completely. Cut into wedges with a serrated knife along the scored lines.

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
2 tablespoons coarse sanding sugar

AUNT GEORGIA'S SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Growing up these were my very favorite cookies. My Aunt Georgia would make dozens of these during the holidays, along with many other of her scrumptious desert specialties. I was fortunate that she shared her recipes with me before she passed on. Now I make the goodies and these are still a favorite, especially with my Mom and Sister. She only used Land O' Lakes butter and I've found that if I use any other brand they just don't taste like Aunt Georgia's. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
