Grandma's Shortbread
Tip
If you use Gluten Free flour, it makes an even lighter, shorter Shortbread. And I thought I couldn't improve on this recipe. I made this recently for my Gluten free friend and really enjoyed how yummy it was. Try it!!! You won't be disappointed.

Made these for Christmas presents yesterday. Amazing! So quick, so simple! Thank you for this recipe!
I made a few batches... one lot I put the dough in mini muffin tins. Poked a big indent in the middle and filled with 1/2 teaspoon of jam! Mini shortbread tarts - delicious!

I trialled the tiny star cutter for the first time and it was great. The rest I baked in typical shortbread shape after chilling the log in the fridge to make it easier to cut

Hubby loves shortbread, and he loved these. Will be making again. Took a bit longer to cook. I did put them quite close together, but they did spread slightly. That was fine. I just used a sharp knife to separate them while they were still hot.

LisadayleTM5:I also used Nuttelex. Yes it was crumbly (not all of it) but I didn’t care, I still loved it. I also have TM5. The only difference was I used normal plain flour so can’t really help you.

LisadayleTM5: The butter would be one of the main things making it taste like shortbread - don't think that you can blame the recipe if you swap it out for Nutlex. Also, making it gluten free does make it very short and fragile, but is still delicious when made with butter.

I made this with the intention of giving as Christmas presents, it was so good that both myself and my family struggled to part with them! I rested in the fridge in thermomat to cool the dough and make it easier to work with as I wanted to use cookie cutters. It was so easy!
so simple, easy and delicious

Perfect! I doubled the recipe, which made about three baking trays full. Tip: make them as "bite size" on your tray because they double in size once you cook them!

Very good. I put in fridge for 20mins before cutting but still a bit soft & crumbly (had to re-shape). I’d freeze for same time or leave in fridge longer next time. I like someone else’s picture of putting in muffin tray bases & stamping, might try next time.
Easy and a family favourite.

Delicious, buttery and so easy. I added vanilla and cooked them in small round fluted flan dishes. This way all I do is use fingers to put the dough into 3 flan dishes and refrigerate until ready to cook. When cool I use a serrated knife to cut into 8 wedges by halving, quartering and cutting into 8. They all look identical and very pretty. Next time I might sprinkle with flaked almonds. Thank you.

Easy delicious recipe. Had to add a little bit extra cornflour & flour as the dough was rather soft. Also took about 25 minutes to cook. More than happy with result. I didn't,t realise there were so many positive comments until I decided to comment, wow.

These are the first biscuits that have worked for me in the thermomix. They are delicious!. I added vanilla and cooked in a 20cm square pan. I did have to extend the cooking time by approx 25mins. They turned ot really well i will be making these again for sure.

Made these today, and they were amazing! Popped the dough in the fridge for 20 mins, then made shapes with cookie cutters and stuck smarties on the top. 19 mins later, we had delicious "dotti cookies" that tasted even better than the ones you buy from cafes. Thankyou for a wonderful, super eady recipe
