Shortbread Black and White Coronary heart Cookies have been a favourite of mine for a few years. After I appeared again, I couldn’t consider I’d by no means shared this basic recipe from my kitchen.
I completely adore these cookies. They’re buttery and comfortable with a cracked sugar glaze that balances the salty cookie, add a layer of darkish chocolate, and effectively I’m in heaven!
The dough is easy to make and yields about 12-16 cookies relying on the dimensions of your cookie cutter. When 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 a fair block earlier than chilling for a number of hours.
Utilizing scissors, lower the bag, off of the dough block. I really like this methodology for cut-out cookies, it makes rolling the dough out a breeze. As soon as the bag is eliminated, you possibly can roll the dough a bit extra with a floured rolling pin till it’s even and prepared for the cookie cutters.
Reduce 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 offers these cookies that glistening end and crackle crunch as soon as they’re baked!
Is that a gorgeous web site or what?
I used adorning sugar, that’s why the cookies virtually glimmer.
