Iced Cat shaped ShortBread Cookies

Thursday, August 27, 2020


    
    Happy Thursday!  Today I have another food blog, Shortbread Cookies from the cookbook, Baking With Kim-Joy.   Kim-Joy is a finalist from the Great British Bake Off and she has a lot of good and fun recipes that I recommend!  
    These cookies were fairly simple, I mixed butter, flour, sugar and a little salt.  I chilled this cookie dough for an hour or two, rolled it out and cut the cookies into simple cat heads with a knife and circle cutter.
. I baked these cookies for 15 minutes at 300 degrees but this is not exactly what the recipe called for, but I changed it a bit so the process was easier in my kitchen.
     For the icing I used the same frosting from my last Post.
Heavy cream and powdered sugar, this frosting/icing is very easy, you mix those two ingredients, adding more or less of each until you get the consistency you like, I added a little more cream so it was more thin and more of a cookie icing.  
    You can really add your own twist on the decorations, I decided not to add faces to the cats because I wanted it to have more of  a simple look, but they would both look great!


                                       The recipe for the Cookie: 
                                           Sugar  85g or 3/4 cups
                                           Butter 200g or 14 tablespoons
                                           Flour  270g or about 2 cups
