Shortbread Black and White Coronary heart Cookies have been a favourite of mine for a few years. Once I appeared again, I couldn’t imagine I’d by no means shared this basic recipe from my kitchen.
I completely adore these cookies. They’re buttery and tender with a cracked sugar glaze that balances the salty cookie, add a layer of darkish chocolate, and nicely I’m in heaven!
The dough is straightforward to make and yields about 12-16 cookies relying on the dimensions of your cookie cutter. In case you don’t have already got an assortment of coronary heart cookie cutters, click on right here.

As soon as the dough is combined, place it right into a zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into an excellent block earlier than chilling for a number of hours.

Utilizing scissors, minimize the bag, off of the dough block. I like this methodology for cut-out cookies, it makes rolling the dough out a breeze. As soon as the bag is eliminated, you may roll the dough a bit extra with a floured rolling pin till it’s even and prepared for the cookie cutters.

Lower out the shapes and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Brush the dough with an egg wash and sprinkle with course or adorning sugar. It’s the egg and sugar mixture that provides these cookies that glistening end and crackle crunch as soon as they’re baked!

Is that a wonderful web site or what?

I used adorning sugar, that’s why the cookies nearly glimmer.
