Shortbread Cookies with variations

I based this recipe off of Bigger Bolder Baking to make the cardamom rose shortbread, something I had been dreaming of since buying rose petals from Diaspora Co.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine flour, salt, and any dry flavorings if using and set aside.
- 2
Beat butter and sugar together in a stand mixer at high speed for at least 5 min, until lightened in color and very fluffy and creamy.
- 3
Beat in vanilla, then add in the dry mixture at low speed in 3 batches.
- 4
Stretch out a long sheet of plastic wrap and turn dough out onto it. Shape into a log (2 in/5cm diameter) and twist the wrap around it.
- 5
Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
- 6
Set out at room temp for 1 hour or until slightly softened but still cold.
- 7
Preheat oven to 325F. Slice into 1/4 in rounds using a serrated knife and arrange on cookie sheet with 1/2 in space.
- 8
Bake 25 min or until the edges and bottom are lightly golden and the centers are set. Cool on wire racks and enjoy!

Shortbread Cookies Shortbread Cookies
This is a variation of a cookie recipe I found in a homemade cookie book published by Boutique.Be sure to completely chill the dough until hardened (at least 1 hour, if not for longer) for a foolproof dough. You can add some dried fruits (apricots, orange peel, maraschino cherries, etc.) in Step 4. You can skip Step 6 if you don't feel like coating the cookies in sugar. Recipe by INCE cookpad.japan -

These cookies are really simple and very quick to make. They are a great addition to a cookie platter and perfect for an afternoon snack or lunchbox treat. They are very light and tender.

Easy Shortbread Cookies Easy Shortbread Cookies
I revised a shortbread recipe, which I used to bake in a café in Canada. It's such an easy ratio of ingredients, so once you bake these cookies, you can make them without looking at the recipe. Feel free to adjust the amount of the ingredients as well. They can be made in 20 minutes!Once you have flipped the baking pan, keep an eye on the cookies so that they don't burn. Take the baking pan out of the oven when the cookies are light brown on the edges, and cook through with the residual heat. I recommend using butter for this recipe since they result in a richer and tastier cookie. Recipe by LazyHata cookpad.japan -

Salted Shortbread Cookies with Olive Oil Salted Shortbread Cookies with Olive Oil
I created this recipe for my nephew, who has food allergies. With a lot of trial and error, I tried to imitate the taste of the shortbread sold at a Japanese confectionery shop in my hometown. At the time, I didn't know about Cookpad, so I had to experiment a lot.These shortbread cookies should be light-colored, so please adjust the cooking time and temperature according to your oven to make sure they don't burn. Definitely try to use extra virgin olive oil. The flavor will make you feel like olive oil is a kind of juice. Recipe by Barumako cookpad.japan -
