Ingredients

  • 250g butter (Dairy Free: can use margarine replacement such as Nuttelex)

  • 110g (1/2 cup) caster sugar

  2. Place the softened butter and caster sugar into a bowl and mix on medium speed for 5–7 minutes or until the mixture is light and creamy.

  3. Reduce speed of the mixer to slow & gradually add the flour ½ a cup at a time. Mix for 30 seconds or until begins to resemble a dough.

  4. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured bench and gently form a ball with your hands.

  5. Cut the dough in half and wrap one half in plastic wrap and place aside in the fridge.

  6. Roll the dough until it’s 5mm thick and use an 8cm star shape cutter to shape the biscuits (or another shaped cutter).

  7. Transfer the shortbread to the lined baking trays and use the remaining dough (including dough put aside), repeating step 6.

  8. Bake the shortbread for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are just Tunring golden.
