The Best Shortbread Ever
P77F58NXC4DK
Hello everybody!!!! One Cake a Day is returning after a short break. I was fulfilling my duties for college, and needless to say this end of term was overwhelming. But at last I'm done (at least for this term), and I'm happy and ready to continue my passion here in One Cake a Day.
In the lasts weeks full of stress and work i was filling at the end of the day (late night) craving for cookies. So I start to look for tasty cookies recipes, but i needed something simple to prepare because i was too tired to mix 800 ingredients and after that wait for 2 hours until the dough had cooled enough to be able to bake and after that i didn't want to wait 15 minutes until the cookies were done!
And the solution? Shortbread cookies. easy, simple, short waiting time and semi-addictive the best solution after a horrible day pushing technology projects...
Well then HERE is The Best Shortbread Ever
Ingredients
2 cups butter (softened)
1 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract (you can experiment with almond, rum, orange, lemon)
4 cups all purpose flour
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F, cream butter and sugar until fluffy, stir in the extract, add flour and salt, mix well.
Chill dough for 30 minutes
Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick (do not roll very thin or the cookies will over tan)
Bake 8-10 minutes, until the edges are slightly tan.
Cool in cooling grid and enjoy!
In my one of my experiments I used a mold for mini pies and let it bake for 18 minutes .....
After a long day of work ..... The Best Shortbread Ever (great with ice tea)

10 Count Royal Icing
Hello! in the last days i have received a lot of questions about the 10 count Royal that used for my angel cookies the here is the recipe
The edges are in full strength royal icing and tip #2 and the petal interior is in thinned royal
the recipe for the 10 count Royal Icing is :
• 1# Confectioners Sugar,
• 3 TBS Meringue Powder,
• -6 tbsp warm Water,
• 1 tsp clear Vanilla Extract,
Mix all ingredients , beat for 7 minutes (stand mixer) or 10 minutes (hand mixer).
To thin down the icing (to fill the petals) you can add water by tablespoons and mix until blend.
Take a spoonful of icing, drop it back into the bowl and count 10 seconds... the icing should smooth itself in those 10 seconds if smoothes in less time you need to add some corn starch to the mix (a little) but if it takes more time you need to add water until it takes 10 seconds to smooth. after that is ready to use.!!!
XOXO
