I went for a basic O shape as you can see, but you can cut out any letter or number you want, print it off, and make a stencil and cut to that. When cutting the dough out, it is SO MUCH EASIER to roll the dough in between sheets of parchment paper, as then you don’t have to try and move the delicate shape, after you’ve cut it. A Chocolate version will be zooming your way shortly, so don’t worry! It just fares so much better, makes the dough easier to work with, and has the classic buttery taste that shortbread desires.įor this time, as it’s my first recipe for these, I went with Vanilla as it is the basics. When making the biscuit dough, I really would recommend using actual unsalted butter. You add flavouring in is you wish, for example I did Vanilla, but you can vary this to anything you fancy. I thought that shortbread was easy, as the base of it is just three ingredients. I’ve made sugar cookie versions before, but that dough requires more ingredients, so maybe next time. I’ve made a few of these nows, and the biscuit can vary somewhat depending on what recipe you use, but I thought I would make it as simple as possible, and use shortbread. They come in many variations, some which do include sponges that are cut very thinly, and some that include meringue… but I thought I would start with cookie. These have been around for a while now, and I am unsure of where they started… sorry. It’s more the style of bake you could say? It would easily take the place of a cake at an occasion! One thing I must discuss from the beginning? Is that YES it technically is a ‘Cake’ even though there is no cake involved in the bake. So… Letter Cookie Cakes? Yeah, I realise I am a bit late in posting the recipe for this one, the crazy phase of these was a little while ago now, but in all honesty I just hadn’t got round to it. I do still utterly adore this sort of ‘cake’, so I am more than happy to post the recipe for it now, and hopefully it’s not too late for you guys!
