Christmas Shortbread Wreaths
I adapted this recipe from plain shortbread to use for a cookie exchange. The wreaths are big sellers at bake sales. Since they're so quick and easy to prepare. I'm happy to share them at the holidays with teachers, friends and neighbors. Donna Gendre, Stettler, Alberta
12 Servings
Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min. + cooling
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
Red and green sprinkles
Directions
In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch and sugar. Blend in butter with
a wooden spoon until the dough is smooth. Form into two balls. Chill
for 30 minutes or until firm.
On a floured surface, roll one ball into a 9-in. circle; transfer to
a greased baking sheet. Cut out center with a small round cookie
cutter. If desired, scallop out and inner edges of wreath with the
edge of a cookie cutter or a knife. Cut the wreath into 12 wedges.
Separate the wedges, leaving 1/8 in. between. Decorate outer and
inner edges with sprinkles. Repeat for remaining dough.
Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5
minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Recut wreath into wedges. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
To serve, arrange as a wreath on a large flat serving plate.
Yield: 2 dozen (2 wreaths).
