Directions
Uncle Bill’s Whipped Shortbread Cookies, These are very easy to make shortbread cookies They are so good that they melt in your mouth, you hardly have to chew them I have been making them for over 35 years , Do you use salted or unsalted butter?, First attempt at Christmas cookies and have to say complete success! My wife raved about them My only tweak was changing the cooking temp to 275 for 30 minutes Melt in your mouth goodness Make sure your butter is nice and soft!! Thanks Uncle Bill!
