Shortbread Pressed Cookies


Today we tried pressed cookies the first time. And it was even the first time for my baking class teacher. This recipe is really simple and you do not need any special ingredients. We prepared the dough and it first looked very crumbly but after a little kneading it turned out perfect. Then we rolled the dough into the shape of the cookie press and put it in. Before we chose a nice disc in form of a little star or flower. It was pretty hard to force the dough through the holes so O recommend to use a mechanic cookie press or a different dough. We had the problem that after we pressed the right amount of dough through the press, the cookie would not come off. But this problem is easy to solve with a knife. Just try to take off the cookie very gently. We get thirty two small stars or flowers out of that recipe. After twelve minutes they were golden brown on the edges and bottom and pretty soft. We let them cool down and I ate one. I have to say that they absorb all the liquid in your mouth in seconds. After each cookie I felt like I need to have some water! I measured the flour and I am pretty sure I did it in the right way and we never had this problem before. So I think it must be the recipe. To add a little more flavour I would, once again, put some chocolate on them. I love chocolate!
