Shortbread Cookies

4 servings

60 minutes

There are few things in the world more positive, reliable and calming to the nerves than the smell of hot cookies gradually filling the kitchen. Anyone can make shortbread cookies - it's not a multi-tiered cake, which is scary to approach without the proper skills. The main thing with shortbread stars and diamonds is not to let them sit in the oven too long, otherwise they will harden and turn to stone. Otherwise, the recipe is extremely simple and quick to prepare - it's nice when a baking sheet with crumbly cookies comes out of the oven faster than the kettle on the stove has time to boil.
