Merry 11th of December Bloggers! Not long until Christmas is it? So much to do. And seeing as it is about too be summer holidays in New Zealand, I needed something to give all of my friends as a Christmas/ good-bye present. What better than shortbread?
Easy Shortbread:
- 150 grams plain flour
- 100 grams margarine
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 6 passion fruit (optional for a summer kick)
- or 1/4 block of chocolate (any kind with do)
Method
1. Soften butter and pour into a bowl along with all other ingredients, not including chocolate, (if making with passionfruit, scoop out the inside and mix in).
2. Roll out to about 1/2 cm thick.
3. Cut out little Christmas shapes, (hearts, trees, or stars work well).
4. Bake for 10minutes, or until golden.

5. Allow to cool, if not adding chocolate, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
6. Melt chocolate and dip half of shortbread into it, (I didn't do this because I was scared they would melt in my bag, but it adds a nicer affect).
7. OPTIONAL : I then put the shortbread into clear bags and tied a ribbon around the top.
Have a very Merry Christmas! Sure too post soon!
