Piped shortbread cookies
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. Piped cookies can be made with a piping tip. The star tip is handy to use. Note that you should not chill the dough in the refrigerator before shaping the cookies—it will cool and become very hard to pipe. When choosing jam or fruit spread, opt for a thick one. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

Pipe or dollop a thick jam (fruit butter) into the centre of each piece. A small dab is enough. Place the baking sheet with the biscuits in an oven preheated to 180°C for 7–10 minutes. Allow for how your own oven behaves.
