Shortbread Cookies with Jam
January 03, 2017
Edit
These shortbread cookies are easy to make, in just 25 minutes total. The melt-in-your-mouth goodness with a drop of chewy jam in the middle. Even 20 if you try hard enough. Serious. That is, of course, if your oven can get pre-heated in 1o minutes. I imagine gas ovens can do that very quickly, but I can only speculate.
The process is super simple. Soften your butter in a microwave, mix with powdered sugar, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. This recipe, unlike classic shortbread recipes, makes use of an egg white. This is necessary to soften the dough so that it can be piped easily.
These shortbread cookies with jam have been one of my favorite for a very long time. I really don’t know what not to like about them.
