Cooking Steps
1
- Separate 1 egg white from the yolk. Reserve 1 tbsp flour.
- Add cinnamon, 75g sugar, butter and remaining flour to a large bowl.
- Knead with your fingertips until the butter is incorporated and the dough has a crumble-like consistency.
- Add the egg yolk and mix until the dough is smooth.
Wrap in cling film or baking paper. Refrigerate until firm to touch, 30-45 mins.
TIP: To speed things up, freeze the dough instead, 15-20 mins.
2
- While the dough cools, preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5.
- Sprinkle some reserved flour over your work surface and your dough.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 5mm thickness.
- Carefully cut out the dough in the shape of Christmas trees, candy canes and Santa hats.
- Roll the remaining dough into a ball, and repeat until all the dough has been used.
Little Chef's TIP: Kids can help shape the shortbread.
3
- Pop the shapes onto a lined baking tray, spacing them well apart. Bake until lightly golden, 10-15 mins.
- Whisk the cream cheese and 25g sugar in a bowl until smooth, 1 min.
- Place the cream cheese in a piping bag (you can also use a freezer bag with a small incision in one of the corners) and decorate your cooled cookies.
- If you prefer, spoon the frosting on top.
Little Chef's TIP: Help draw Christmas garlands, baubles and other decorations.
