Скачать или смотреть MANDARIN ORANGE SHORTBREAD / 12 DAYS OF XMAS COOKIES

Hello everyone! Day # 5 of the 12 days of xmas cookies, brings us SHORTBREAD. In my opinion one of the best cookies ever. My version of shortbread has a bit of citrus zest, I had some mandarine oranges laying around so I used that, but you can pretty much use any type of citrus out there. Buttery and crumbly in your mouth, I guarantee everyone will be raving about these, if you adventure yourself with a batch.
Wish you a terrific day and I hope you are enjoying these videos as much as I have enjoyed creating them for you.
Happy baking!

RECIPE

2 sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature
3/4 cup of confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups of all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Zest of one mandarin. (About half a teaspoon if you are choosing other type of citrus)


Cream butter on a standing mixer at slow/medium speed(use a handheld mixer if that what you have available)
Add the confectioners sugar, teaspoon by teaspoon.
Stop and scrape the sides with a spatula.
Go back to slow/medium speed add vanilla, pinch of salt and zest.
Finally add the flour, 1 cup at the time. After both cups, pause and scrape the sides one more time.
Wrap the dough with plastic wrap, giving it kind of a square log shape, (you could make it round as well)and take it to the fridge for at least an hr.
After the hr has passed, Set your oven at 325F.
Remove the dough from the fridge and with sharp knife start cutting the cookies, giving them at least 1/4 of inch of thickness, don’t crowd them, they expand on the oven when baking.
Bake for 20 minutes, keeping a close eye, remove them when they are barely golden. If you over bake they get extremely dry.
Let them cool for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!
