My Shortbread Cookies
"ohemgee, these are melt in your mouth shortbread cookies! THE ONLY shortbread recipe you'll ever need! ...I didnt like when my mother baked them because I'd eat them all and I don't like to share! Even freezing them doesn't help as they are delicious frozen too. ...**If you dont have cake flour, its easy to make! Measure 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour. Then measure out 3 tablespoons of that flour and replace with 3 tbsp of cornstarch! Sift at least 4 times to get it well incorporated!**"

directions
- Preheat oven 360.

- Spoon 2 teaspoons of dough on a parchment line pan. With a clean finger tip, poke a well in the middle of the cookie, spoon 1/2 teaspoon or less bit in of your favorite jam.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges begin to get golden brown, like in my picture!
- Enjoy! :).

These are yummy -- very 'short' and very good. The only problem I had was in doubling the recipe -- it's way too much butter so the cookies spread, were pretty greasy and took a good 7 minutes longer to bake. So if you're gonna double it, I'd suggest doing only 1 1/2 cups butter instead of 2 full cups. They were still good, though, even though they were flat. I used both apricot and black raspberry jams -- yum.

I love to see what ways I can make food interesting. Food is my passion! I cook with the freshest ingredients as possible to make all my meals full of flavour. I rather take the time to cook a great meal than go to a restaurant to be disappointed as I have become my very own food critic.=D I have come to love recipezaar and its community. I always look forward to testing out the next new recipe after a days work. I Thank you!
