Lately I have been having cravings for junks and flour products, yet I couldn't make out time to get it done or go shopping for it. I had a visit from friends yesterday and while I was seeing them off I saw a confectionery store so I picked up everything I could need to make a Scottish Shortbread cookies. This is a little different from the usual cookies cos it looks more like a shortbread and taste different, well the taste is attributed to the proportion used.

Ingredients:

  • All purpose flour

  • Sugar (I improvised with icing sugar due to the smoothness)

  • Milk

  • A pinch of baking powder

  • Vanilla essence

Method:

Cream butter and sugar till fluffy.

Roll into a thick sheet on the cutting board and cut into desired shapes. Use a spatula to smoothen the edges

Make incisions with fork and arrange on a greased pan
