Tip to make the best Christmas Shortbread Cookies
Few people know this, but here’s the secret for delicious, crispy, buttery, and sweet shortbread cookies. This tip comes directly from the ancient Scottish bakers who mastered the shortbread cookies techniques over the centuries.
To put it simply: You just let the dough dry out. By letting the dough dry out and rest, the shortbread becomes lighter and sweeter. As the dough rests—be it in the (turned off) oven, on the counter, or inside your refrigerator—water from the butter will evaporate from the dough. Consequently, less water in the dough means that the sugar content will be more concentrated and the flavors will stand out!
