Here are are my finished cookies all ready to be delivered to my neighbours as a little festive treat. I used one dough for all three cookies, and you could really use it for any shortbread based cookie. For the Jammie Dodgers I just shaped into a ball, pressed a little indent in the middle and filled with blackcurrant jelly. I added chocolate chips ot the dough, made a ball and squished it with a fork and drizzled chocoalte over for the Chocolate Chip Shorties, and for the crescents, I made a crescent shape, then after baking diffed the ends in melted chocolate (microwaved) and sprinkled crushed hazlenuts on the ends.
Easy Peasy Cookie Dough
1 pound butter (4 sticks, salted)
1 cup sugar
4 cups all purpose flour.
Preheat oven to 375. Cream sugar and butter with light and fluffy, add flour. Shape into balls or crescents etc, bake 15-18 mins until golden on the bottom. You can half this recipe with no side effects.
These look great, I love pressed glass at the moment, there is something so genuine about it. These homemade cookies on vintage dishes are something I really want to do next Christmas - I wonder if I will remember in time though.
