I chose the Vanilla Shortbread Hearts recipe because the other recipe contained ingredients that I didn't already have around the house!
The cookies turned out delicious, but they were really work-intensive. I love cookies, but I don't like doing cut-out cookies. I'm a "drop and go" kind of girl when it comes to cookies.
I made two changes to the recipe, neither one of which really makes a big difference in the outcome. I couldn't get raspberry jam so I used blackberry. And I couldn't find my tiny heart-shaped cookie cutter, so I made vanilla shortbread stars instead.
I think that 13 minutes might be a little too long to bake these. I'd recommend checking them after 11 minutes.
All in all, they tasted good, but I doubt I'll make them again. These are not a cookie my kids would want to eat.
They turned out very pretty! I would like the blackberry, too!
ReplyDeleteI have a love-hate relationship with cut-out cookies. They always turn out cute, but they take SO LONG to make. I usually end up tackling them only once or twice a year giving myself long enough in between to forget how much work they really are =)
ReplyDeleteRegardless, your cookies definitely turned out well! I think many flavors of jam would go well with these. Blackberry sounds like a good choice =)
