Looking for a recipe for a cutout cookie that is like a shortbread. I had one from a local bakery here in Portland - Grand Central Bakery - and it was wonderful. It was at Christmas time and they cut them in star shapes and had icing on them. Anyone have a recipe like this?

My little tin of maple leaves is what I use for my shortbread, too! |

Thank you all for the info and recipes. I am now very excited to try them all. I have fall cutout shapes that I have never used (bought two years ago and forgot about them) Leaves, acorns, etc. I thought it would be great to do the shortbread type cookie and frost them in fall colors.

In the Across The Fence Forum under " recipes we love to share" Eileen posted a shortbread recipe that is very rich and oh so delicious! I have used it several times and have not been disappointed! Happy Cooking!Remember shortbread and lace cookies are best made on a clear day with low humidity.
with a happy heart |

Thanks, these sound great. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to bake, might be painted the spare bedroom if my husband gets done with sanding the wood trim - we'll see.

Sour Cream cookies

1/2 c. sour cream
Sift and add a little at a time:
2&1/2 c. flour

1/2 t. baking soda

Chill. Roll out 1/8" thick/ Bake @ 350 for 5-6 min.
I also found a recipe for shortbread cookies in my "Cristina's of Sun Valley" cook book
1/2 pound butter, softened
2 c. flour
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 t. salt
Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until a dough is formed. Roll until 1/8 " thick and cut into desired shapes. Bake on parchement paper for 8-10m minutes or until light brown around the edges.
Happy Cookie baking! |

Do you have Barefoot Contessa cookbooks? She has a GREAT shortbread recipe. I'll send it soon...
Barefoot Contessa is my very favorite cook - I highly recommend her books and show on Food Network. |

I know there are plenty of good shortbread recipes out there but I use a sour cream recipe for cut out cookies that makes them soft to chew but strong. They taste nice and rich too. Let me know if that would suffice.
