Ingredients
- 4 oz unsalted butter 110g, 1 stick

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

- Roll out on a surface floured with corn starch to approx. ¼ inch thick.
- Cut out small circles and place on baking sheet.
- Bake for approx 10 min, they will still be slightly soft to touch.
- Remove from baking sheet to cooling rack when still warm. Ice once cooled.
Cup of Yum
For the frosting/icing
- Place confectioners sugar in a small bowl. Press the raspberries through a small sieve, so that seeds are held back, into the confectioners sugar and mix. Add the cream cheese and blend in – this is often easiest with a hand blender. If you don't have a mixer, or if doing a smaller quantity, it's probably easier to whip the cream cheese first to soften, then add the sugar gradually, followed by the raspberry.
- Transfer to a piping bag and decorate the shortbread.
