Notes
These incredibly tender and delicate Whipped Shortbread Cookies aren’t your average shortbread; the secret is in the whipping, which incorporates air into the butter and sugar, creating a truly melt-in-your-mouth texture. The light, almost ethereal crumb is perfect for a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze. Perfect for the holiday baking season.
