Perfect Baking Instructions
- I ALWAYS use my hands to mix my mixes. It’s faster, they mix up perfectly and there’s much less cleanup. Its’ fun for kids, too!
- Shortbread tastes best when it’s cool – wait for it!
- Warm hands are magic for mixing shortbread. They make the butter and the mix marry together perfectly.
- Err on the side of overcooking shortbread. They melt in your mouth a bit better when a little overcooked.
