When making sugar cookies, or in this case, shortbread cookies, too much flour can make the dough tough. But how do you get them rolled out without having the dough stick to the surface of the counter and rolling pin?POWDERED SUGAR!
Yes, sprinkle your surface with a combination of flour and powdered sugar for ease of rolling. This never makes my doughs tough.
This morning I baked some easy and delicious shortbread cookies and packaged them in an adorable tin complete with tissue paper, cookie cutter, and a gorgeous bow.
Then I sent them off with Abigail to her piano lesson. I'm hoping that her English piano teacher will enjoy them with a cup of hot tea!
What a clever idea for a music teacher! My husband loves shortbread cookies. Yum!
