Spooky Shortbreads

 

I am thoroughly enjoying having capable kids who bake and cook. Tim wanted to bring a treat for his advisory group at school the week. He found this Jamie Oliver recipe and put his own twist on it. He did a great job, so I am blogging his creation 😊

Spooky Shortbreads

Ingredients:

11 tablespoons butter at room temperature, cut into tablespoons

1 1/3 cups all purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 lemon zested

icing & melted chocolate for decoration

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare an 8x8 pan with parchment. In a medium bowl combine the butter, flour sugar and zest by pinching it together with your fingers until the mix is crumbly and the butter is in small pieces. 

2. Press the crumbly mix into the bottom of the pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork and bake for 20 minutes until golden.

3. When the dough has cooled cut it and decorate. For these shortbreads, we made a spiderweb with white icing and a little chocolate spider on each.
