Margaret Campbells Irish Shortbread Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Sift in cornstarch and flour; mix well.
• Press into a 10 3/4 by 7 inch pan.
• Prick all over with a fork.
• Bake in preheated 275 F oven for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 250 F and bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer.
• Remove from pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 20 finger shaped cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs in a large bowl with a handheld mixer until smooth. Add the oats, cranberries and pepitas and mix until just combined. Use a 1/4-cup dry measuring cup or 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between scoops, making about 9 per tray. Flatten the scoops slightly with the back of a spoon. Bake until the cookies are starting to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let them sit on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to let them set up a little bit. Serve warm, or let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to a week. Also great for freezing and eating straight out of the freezer! Serve with Greek yogurt for slathering or dipping, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
• Line two cookie sheets with parchment, if available.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Mix in flours.
• Roll out to 1/4" on a floured surface.
• Cut into rectangles using a sharp knife or better yet, a ravioli/pie cutter with the wavy edge.
• Tranfer onto a lined cookie sheet, leaving 1/2" between cookies.
• Poke cookies with a fork and sprinkle with sugar (or even cinnamon sugar).
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
• Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• 1. Cream the butter until smooth.
• 2. Add the corn starch, flour, and confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, until well mixed.
• 3. Scoop dough out onto a cookie sheet either ungreased or lined with parchment paper.
• 4. Smooth dough out onto a cookie sheet.
• 5. Bake in preheated 325-degree oven for about 30 minutes. Shortbread should not brown, but just begin to slightly lose the whiteness.
• 6. Cool to room temp.
• 7. Slice into bars or triangles.
