It was an unqualified success!!! I tried to use my beater but everything just clogged up so it was back to the wooden spoon.

Gently rolled it out 1cm thick and used small round cookie cutter. Baked for only 16-18 mins. Came out perfect.

Given proportions resulted in a very soft dough which should have set the alarm bells. I formed it into a roll and chilled in the freezer for a while and was able to work with it to slice rounds. In the oven the butter melted, the biscuits all melded into one another - complete fail. So I compared other shortbread recipes. Edmonds Cookbook for instance calls for 250 g of butter and four cups of dry ingredients. This recipe calls for the same amount of butter and 2 3/4 cups of the same dry ingredients. I think this recipe is flawed and I'm disappointed I trusted it.CHELSEA: Hi there, sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with this recipe. We recently tested this recipe when we made the video for it and found it to be one of the best shortbread recipes we've tried! It has similar ratios of ingredients to other shortbread recipes found online. Our top shortbread-making tips are to make sure the butter is just softened (not melted), the oven isn't too hot and the cookies are baked in the middle of the oven., approved=true, user_name=Catherine, hs_createdate=1702249850062, rating_new__1_5_=1, id=11175589376}, {comment_text=Delicious, approved=true, user_name=Claire, hs_createdate=1702249849262, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11174113442}, {comment_text=Have tasted this receipe where my cousin made it was so yummy, approved=true, user_name=Betty Hunter, hs_createdate=1702249849175, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175611546}]}

Method

Preheat oven to 150°C bake (140°C fan forced).  Grease oven tray or line with baking paper.

Beat butter and Chelsea Icing Sugar until pale and fluffy. Mix in Edmonds Fielder's Cornflour and Edmonds Standard Grade Flour until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.

On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1 cm thick and cut into shapes using biscuit cutters. Alternatively, roll dough into a log and slice into rounds, using a floured knife to prevent sticking. Sprinkle with Chelsea Coffee Sugar Crystals if desired and press down gently.

Place on prepared tray and bake 25 - 30 minutes, until shortbread is pale but crisp. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
