These treats are both crispy and tender, perfect for bringing a bit of warmth to the festive season. They are simple to make and will delight both kids and adults with their delightful texture. You only need a few basic ingredients to create these cookies which can be cut into festive shapes or beautifully packaged as gifts.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>For 10 people:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Flour: 200g<br \/>\n&#8211; Butter: 100g<br \/>\n&#8211; Baking powder: 1 pinch<br \/>\n&#8211; Sugar: 100g<br \/>\n&#8211; Water: 10ml<\/p>\n<h2>Preparation<\/h2>\n<p>1. Preheat your oven to 340\u00b0F (170\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>2. Pour the flour into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of baking powder, and combine.<\/p>\n<p>3. Cut the butter into small cubes, add it along with the sugar to the bowl, and mix with your fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>4. Add water and mix again until you can form the dough into a ball.<\/p>\n<h2>To Finish<\/h2>\n<p>Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to form a large rectangle, then use cookie cutters to cut out small shapes.<\/p>\n<p>Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2693&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Indulge in Easy Christmas Shortbread Cookies: A Delicious Recipe!&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Difficulty Easy Calories per 100g Approximately 150 Quantity Serves 10 Preparation Time 25 minutes Cooking Time 15 minutes Total Time 40 minutes As the holiday season &#8230; <a title=\"Indulge in Easy Christmas Shortbread Cookies: A Delicious Recipe!\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/ladyandthetrack.com\/articles\/indulge-in-easy-christmas-shortbread-cookies-a-delicious-recipe\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Indulge in Easy Christmas Shortbread Cookies: A Delicious Recipe!\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":2694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Indulge in Easy Christmas Shortbread Cookies: A Delicious Recipe!
