Introduction
Hey there, folks! Today, I will take you on a delightful journey to create some mouth-watering Scottish shortbread cookies, just like the famous Walkers recipe. Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure that will leave your taste buds singing with joy!
Getting Started
First things first, gather all your ingredients. You will need 1 cup of salted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 tbsp of vanilla extract, 1 cup of powdered milk, and 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
Mixing it Up
I preheat the oven to 160℃ or 325℉. Next, I grab a mixing bowl and cream together the butter and icing sugar until it’s as smooth as a hot knife through butter. Then, I add the vanilla extract and powdered milk, giving it a good mix until everything is well combined.
Bringing it Together
In goes the flour, but not all at once. I prefer to add it in two batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition. I continue mixing until a lovely dough forms, and everything is nicely incorporated.
Baking Time!
I then transfer the dough onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. I flatten it out and use a knife to create those classic shortbread lines for that authentic touch. The pan goes into the preheated oven and bakes for 20 minutes. After that, I swiftly cut the cookies into their individual shapes and pop them back in the oven for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until they are beautifully golden.
Enjoy Your Creation
Once out of the oven, I let the cookies cool down before diving in. As they cool, the delicious aroma fills the room, making it hard to resist. Finally, when they are cool enough, it’s time to savor and enjoy every bite of these delightful treats.
Food for the Soul
Remember the wise words from Psalms 34:8 – “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Let these cookies not only tantalize your taste buds but also warm your heart with the joy of baking.
Conclusion
In conclusion, making Scottish shortbread cookies the Walkers style is a delightful experience that brings joy to both the baker and the eater. So, gather your ingredients, preheat that oven, and let the aroma of freshly baked shortbread fill your kitchen. Get ready to enjoy a treat that is as comforting as it is delicious.
