Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

Tip
The trick is not to overcook them. If they go too brown they will be crispy and not have that beautiful shortbread texture we all love.
You could coat in icing sugar or dip half in chocolate for an extra special treat. I just leave them plain as that is how my Nanna (Maureen) made them for Christmas every year. Enjoy.

Pribi06: I used a canvas piping bag with a small nozzle (Bought bigger since). I had to get my husband to pipe because it was difficult for me. Next time I am going to try with a plastic piping bag AND I'm going to buy a gun when I research a good one 😂. Well worth it though.
Just made these. Awwwwsome!! Thankyou for sharing.

I don't have a cookie press...is the mixture soft enough that you could use a piping bag with a large nozzle?
