"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
1 cup salted butter
½ cup icing sugar
1½ cups flour
sprinkles for topping
candied cherries for topping


Whip the butter and icing sugar together well.

Once it looks all deliciously creamy, resist from eating it by the spoonful, and get your flour ready.

Start the mixer and slowly add in flour, until it has all been added in.

Then you can proceed to let your mixer do all the work for you and whip for 6 min. You are wanting lighter than air shortbread here.

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet.

You can also use a cookie press and make shaped cookies!

Top with sprinkles or a piece of Christmas cherry.

Bake them in a 275º oven for about 30-35 min; you want to dry out the shortbread in essence, not bake it, thus the low temperature.
(If you have a warm kitchen or live in a warm climate, cool the cookies in the fridge then bake. They won’t flatten out).
