Magical Whipped Shortbread

December 8, 2019 By Kari Leave a Comment

This magical whipped shortbread recipe is an old family favourite. We whip these up every year to give as gifts and to indulge throughout the holiday season!

magical whipped shortbread-1We call them ‘magical’ because they are just that. Extraordinarily pleasant! The type of cookie you can’t help but moan with delight while you eat. My mom has used this recipe for years and it’s in our regular rotation every Christmas too! I like to whip up several batches to freeze and bring out when friends pop over throughout the holiday season, or to bring a kids’ Christmas party. I also love to wrap them up in a pretty tin to give as Christmas gifts.

Magical Whipped Shortbread

Time Investment:

Totally depends if the kids are helping or not. If I’m whipping this up – one hour total, including cleanup.

Makes: approximately 32 cookies

You’ll Need:

  • one pound of softened butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup of cornstarch
  • one cup of icing sugar
  • one tsp of pure vanilla
  • three cups of flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and icing sugar together in your standup mixer. Start at a lower speed to avoid powdered sugar clouding your kitchen. Then work up to a higher speed and whip for several minutes.

Gradually add remaining ingredients, mixing in constantly. Once all ingredients are mixed, continue to whip for another minute or two. You want the batter light and fluffy.

Decorate the tops of your cookies with whatever your heart desires!

We love this new and improved all-terrain stroller. We're out for walks a few times a day - with the dogs, school runs, shopping, etc. This one fits the bill for all of it!

- so easy to maneuver. It's seriously the smoothest ride ever. 
- 4-wheel spring suspension and large puncture-proof wheels let you glide over bumps and tight turns without disturbing babe.
- customizable colours 
- the bassinet has a great ventilation system to help babe regulate their natural body temperature.
