SUPER SHOOTER WHIPPED SHORTBREAD SPRITZ COOKIES



Super Shooter Whipped Shortbread Spritz Cookies image

WHIPPED SHORTBREAD



Whipped Shortbread image

Another family favourite, these delightful cookies really do melt in your mouth. Serving them in a red basket with xmas cellophane is a creative way to serve these. Use any garnish on these cookies that your guests will enjoy. You can eat these like candy!

Provided by Luvfood

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 40m

Yield 90-95 shortbreads

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb butter, softened (REAL butter,no substitutions on this!!)
1/2 cup cornstarch (1/4 cup more is optional, cookies will still melt in your mouth,less fragile if transporting)
3 cups flour
1 cup icing sugar (2 tbsp or 1/4 cup more is optional for a little or a lot more sweetness)
1/2 cup glace cherries, chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter.
  • Add dry ingredients.
  • Whip for 10-12 minutes; batter will be shiny, and form peaks.
  • Fold in chopped glace cherries. Or garnish with a topping of your choice.
  • Optional- Chill dough overnight(you can keep for a few days in the fridge) before baking take out and leave at room temperature for 1 hour, whip it up again in the mixer for about 5 minutes. This option allows you to roll and shape the cookies. Still melt in your mouth!
  • Drop from a 1 tsp measure OR roll dough on to a cookie sheet based on the the option you chose. (I level the tsp to make uniform, tiny cookies. A very small cookie scoop or tiny melon scoop is handy for uniform cookies. Due to how soft and delicate this cookie is making it bigger is not recommended).
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 8-10 minutes, OR until bottom edges begin to brown. If they are smaller then watch the first batch to monitor the time required per batch.
  • Watch them carefully they can burn quickly.
  • When removed from the oven allow them to cool for about two minutes on the cookie sheet, carefully move them onto a cooling rack with a spatula.
  • Allow them to cool on the rack for 15 minutes or more. If they are NOT cool they will crumble more easily and won't set properly.
  • My taste tester's at home tell me they taste better when they are cool. If you are taking to a cookie exchange baking them one day before it allows the texture and taste to be perfect.
  • ***Avoid letting them cool longer than necessary on the cookie sheet or they might stick and break apart when you try to move them.

GLUTEN FREE WHIPPED SHORTBREAD RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Gluten Free Whipped Shortbread Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by á-48544

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' (icing) sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but good)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but good)
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
cherries, coloured sugar or sprinkles for decorating

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Place the butter and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Starting on slow speed, and slowly increasing, beat the butter & sugar until fully combined, scraping down the bowl in between. Add the extracts if using, and beat until blended. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Slowly add to the butter mixture while the mixer is on low speed. Once the flour has been worked in, slowly increase the speed to medium. Beat on medium speed for 5-6 minutes. This is crucial, as it adds the lightness to the dough, giving you a light, airy cookie. 4. Scoop 3/4-inch balls of dough onto the cookie sheet, keeping 2-inches between cookies. I use my small cookie scoop for this, works perfectly. 5. Use a fork, that has been floured with rice flour, to press the cookies down slightly. Place cherries, sprinkles, or coloured sugar on the top of the cookies, if using. 6. Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes. You do not want the cookies to brown at all, just for the dough to set. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet for 2-3 minutes before removing to wire cooling rack. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.

THE BEST WHIPPED SHORTBREAD



The Best Whipped Shortbread image

A melt in your mouth cookie that disappears fast! I always make lots of these and store ( hide! ) in the freezer. They freeze well for over a month tightly sealed. Very pretty on a plate if you use assorted coloured cherried. You could dip half the cookie in melted chocolate for something a bit different if you want to omit the cherries.
