COPYCAT CRISPY PURE BUTTER SARTHE SHORTBREAD

If you like butter 

I mean 'pure' butter

I am sure you will like these flavourful,

wonderfully crispy and crunchy little cookies

You can't probably 

stop at just one piece

It is for this reason

that I have searched high and low

for a recipe that can come close to its texture and taste

I have stopped at 

Karlynn Johnston's thekitchenmagpie

Chocolate chip cookie recipe

I made 2 variations:

a) Almond Delights

b) Chocolate Chips

using the basic recipe as below:

Copycat Crispy Pure Butter Sarthe Shortbread

270g cake flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

220g butter, softened

200g granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg

1) sift together flour, baking soda and salt, and leave aside

2) preheat oven 375'C

3) cream butter with sugar until light & fluffy

4) add egg, vanilla & mix thoroughly
5) fold in sifted flour, do not over mix

6) press a teaspoon full of dough, flat onto parchment lined baking sheet

7) bake in preheated oven for 10-12min until golden brown

a) Almond Delights

    Roll the balls in a bed of almond flakes before pressing onto the baking sheet

b) Chocolate Chips

     Mix in 2 cups of chocolate chips to the final dough before rolling into balls

     Note: The chocolate chips are too big for these dainty sheets of cookies

                 next time I will use chocolate rice instead
