The Organic part makes them sound kind of healthy when in reality they are definitely NOT! But I figure by using organic ingredients maybe we wouldn't have to feel so bad about sneaking an extra cookie or two.
This is an amazing, super simple recipe that everyone always loves. I have had more requests for this recipe, than Cindy Crawford has had for her phone number ;)So here it is:
1 cup Butter (we buy our Organic Butter from Target)
1 1/2 cups Flour (we buy our Organic Flour from Target)
1/2 cup Icing Sugar (we buy our Organic Icing Sugar from Trader Joe's)
Combine all ingredients in a mixer, and beat for 10 min.
You can either drop teaspoon amounts of batter, or use a piping bag and pipe teaspoon amounts of batter on to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (I use a pastry bag with a large star tip and pipe circles onto the parchment paper)
Cut a cherry in half, you can use glazed cherries or maraschino cherries or a nut or whatever you would like and place in the middle of the cookie.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for approx 12-14 minutes.
I hope you'll consider making these for your Valentine this Thursday!

Yum! Those were always my favorite kind in the Danish cookie tins my dad used to buy us as a treat.
ReplyDeleteThe is a classic recipe for shortbread read. The basics are actually 3:2:1 for ingredients; the middle one being the butter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ratio! I will remember that!
Deletesounds yummy will have to make some for sure.
ReplyDelete...sounds yummy,,,,,
ReplyDeleteI am taking the day off work today as my son is poorly. Whilst he is in bed with the snuffles, I will make a batch up. I'm sure they will make him feel better!
ReplyDeleteHave just looked at the time this has been posted. I am not madly up at 2.30 in the morning baking! I am in the UK where it is 10.30am!
DeleteWe made these last night. My daughter need cookies for school today and these were easy and yummy to make. I posted about them today. They don't look as good as yours though.
ReplyDeleteThis is maybe a stupid question but what is "icing sugar" is this the same thing as powdered sugar?
ReplyDeleteSame thing. Some call it icing sugar some call it powdered sugar. Maybe it's a Canadian yhing to call it icing sugar??? Haha
