Figured shortbread cookies for children

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make shaped shortbread cookies for children in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it is at room temperature and easier to mash. In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar and grind until the sugar is completely dissolved. You will learn all the intricacies of making shortcrust pastry by reading the article on this topic, follow the link at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat one chicken egg into the resulting mass. Stir. To make the process quicker and easier, you can use a mixer.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve and mix with a pinch of soda. Add flour into the butter mixture little by little and knead into a stiff dough. You may need a little less or more flour, depending on the properties of the flour itself. Read more about this in the article at the end of the recipe. Important! Do not knead the dough for a long time, otherwise the cookies will be hard.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wrap the dough in film and put it in the refrigerator for an hour. This will make the dough easier to work with and the finished cookies will be more tender.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then roll it out into a layer about a centimeter thick and cut out the cookies using cookie cutters. Please note that the thinner the dough, the harder the cookies will be. For me, about 1 centimeter thick is optimal - this way the cookies turn out soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place it on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. The time may be different, rely on the operation of your oven (the baking time also determines whether the cookies will be soft or hard, do not overcook them!). Read about Parchment and how ovens work in separate articles below the steps.

7. STEP 7

   

   The finished cookies should be browned. Serve homemade shaped shortbread cookies with hot tea. Children enjoy eating it with hot or cold milk. Enjoy your tea!

My daughter and I really enjoyed these cookies! My hostess rolled out the dough and cut out the figures. I even made the eyes out of sprinkles. Kneading the dough is simple and straightforward; I have already baked cookies using approximately this recipe. The dough forms very quickly and easily; it must rest in the refrigerator, otherwise it will drag on and become tough. The butter for the dough was of good quality, after all, the cookies were for children. It took a little less time to bake, I mainly focused on appearance. The cookies came out quite soft with a slightly hard crust. The main thing is not to dry out these cookies. Thanks to the butter in the composition, the cookies turned out crumbly and sandy. It is delicious and goes very well with milk and cocoa. And most importantly, my daughter took part in baking the cookies, and those made with her own hands were the most delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

The cookies are very tasty and sweet. True, the dough didn’t work out very well, it tore and stuck, but the cookies are still delicious. We'll bake again! Thank you!

And if it is impossible to set 180 degrees, you can bake at 200!? My oven is such that there are only 150 and 200 degrees. (

I tried your recipe and loved the cookies! Now I will make adjustments for my oven (less time). And the useful tips from this site were very useful, for example, cooling the dough in the refrigerator, which you write about, is a prerequisite for the cookies to be tender, and I liked the second tip - do not sprinkle the dough with too much flour when rolling, in this case it is better to use less flour. And my most important discovery is that in search of a cookie recipe I came to this site. Like the cookies, I really liked the site - that's my first impression! Now I will study it!
