DAY 8 | Jammy Starred Shortbread

DAY 8!

Hey Guys,

One week into this Xmas Challenge and I hope you guys are enjoying it as much as I am making these posts. As usual Thursdays are for another baking post due to #JustDessert which I wish I could bring back next year but I don't really have the time. Maybe during summer I'll make some stuff and you can have a #JustDessert post for a few months, but we'll see. At the moment we'll stick to this Xmas Challenge because it is a mission in itself. 

Anyway let me get into this.

Ingredients: 

-1 1/2 Cups Butter

-3/4 Cup icing sugar

-1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

-2 teaspoons almond extract

-2 1/4 Cups Plain Flour

-1/4 teaspoon salt

-Jam of your choice 

Method: 

-Preheat your oven to 175C

-Beat the butter until light and then gradually beat in the icing sugar ensuring you sift it first. 

-Add in the extracts and mix well

-Sift in the flour and salt and combine.

-Create a dough kneading till it comes to the right consistency. 

-Place in the fridge for around an hour to become firm.

-Line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper. 

-With a floured surface roll out your dough and cut your chosen shape into it. If you want to do what I did ensure you choose two shapes where one is smaller than the other. 

-Place into the oven for 20 minutes. 

-Leave to cool then enjoy.

I hope you liked this post and I'll see you tomorrow.
