Best 8 Aunt Dots Shortbread Cookies Recipes

DULSE SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and rice flours, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 2 tablespoons of the dulse granules. Combine the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tablespoon dulse in a small bowl and reserve for sprinkling over the top of the shortbreads.
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy and lightened in color, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Turn off the mixer, add the flour mixture all at once, then return the mixer to its lowest speed until the flour is incorporated and the mixture is the texture of crumbly wet sand, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer to the prepared tart pan and use your hands or the bottom of a cake pan to press the mixture into an even layer. Bake until the shortbread is set and the edges are golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• Remove the outer ring of the tart pan, then carefully transfer the shortbread onto a cutting board, using a paring knife to separate the pan bottom if necessary. Brush the shortbread with the egg mixture, then evenly sprinkle all of the dulse-salt mixture over the top. Slice into 16 wedges and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Return to the oven and bake until the egg wash is set, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer the shortbreads back to the wire rack to cool completely before serving.

3-INGREDIENT BUTTERY SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F, with rack on lower middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and brown sugar. Using paddle attachment on medium-high speed, mix until fluffy and light, several minutes. Add only 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on medium-low speed until combined.
• On a large board, sprinkle 1/2 cup flour to keep dough from sticking to the board. Use rubber spatula to transfer dough to the board. Knead dough by hand for 5 minutes, adding only as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed to make a soft dough, while continuing to knead by hand. The dough should end up soft and pliable, similar to play-dough, not sticky. Work in desired amount of sprinkles, if using. (Important Note: You may not end up using all the flour, depending on how your dough feels; it's important to stop adding flour as soon as your dough feels like soft play dough.)
• Divide dough into thirds, wrap tightly, and chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll and cut shapes. Roll one-third of the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness (lightly flour board if needed.) Either cut into 3x1 rectangular strips, triangles, or use cookie cutter for shapes. Place each cookie 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Poke cookies with fork to design if not using sprinkles.
• Bake 15-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. If your shapes are smaller, bake less time. Bake longer for bigger shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough, working in batches so dough stays chilled and workable.
• Cool completely on wire rack before serving. Cookies keep very when sealed airtight, at room temp.

• Bake in preheated oven until cookies are light golden brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. While still warm, roll in sugar. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container.

• Transfer tart pan to oven and bake until light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the shortbread comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
