Shortbread cookies in a bread machine
Description
Baking is simple and quick. This cookie is made without any fuss, but there is one condition. Your bread machine must be set to the “Dough” mode with a specific time setting. If it only offers a setting for yeast dough, you’ll have to do everything manually. The finished dough may be a bit sticky, but you shouldn’t add flour, or the baked goods will turn out hard. The cookies made from the leftover dough after the first cut turn out slightly flaky. The finished cookies can be drizzled with chocolate or simply dusted with powdered sugar. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
