Shortbread “frutti di bosco”

Like I said in the last post, I need to be careful with all those butter cookies. I was so careful this morning, that I baked some more. But I had to, really, no choice, as last night in Polish Deli I found some good quality jam with forest fruit, bought 2 jars and simply had to try to recreate the cookies from Conad in Gallicano.

The shortbread recipe is the same as in the double dipped cookies, with 30 g less sugar. Good call, I think, while munching on one of them now, the jam is quite sweet, so the shortbread didn’t have to be. 200 g softened salted butter, 70 g of icing sugar creamed in kitchen aid with vanilla paste, 250 g of plain flour, 2 tbsps of milk. Half of the cookies cut with apple corer….:-) 160 degrees, 15 minutes. Sandwiched with the jam, gently softened now. Delicious.
