Ingredients

  • 200 g butter Unsalted, softened
  • 100 g sugar
  • 250 g plain flour
  • 50 g cranberries Dried
  • 50 g white chocolate
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add the plain flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
  3. Gently fold in the dried cranberries into the dough.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, then place it in the centre of a baking tray. Use your hands to press and spread out the dough evenly to fill the tray.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  6. Once baked, allow the shortbread to cool in the tray for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In the meantime, melt some white chocolate in a microwave or using a double boiler.
  8. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled shortbread for an extra touch of sweetness and decoration.
  9. Allow the chocolate to set before cutting the shortbread. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips or squares, depending on your preference.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overwork the dough; just mix until the ingredients come together.
  • You can adjust the amount of cranberries and white chocolate chips to your taste.
  • Drizzling white chocolate on top is optional but adds a delightful sweetness to the shortbread.
