You can store the Butter Cookies for about a week well sealed in an airtight container or a tin box.
You can store the raw shortcrust pastry for 1-2 days in the fridge or even freeze it for up to 1 month.
To ensure the butter is soft enough, leave it at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
Since it’s a very buttery dough, it’s important to let the dough blocks cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours or even longer. To make rolling easier, form square rather than round blocks and wrap them in plastic wrap.
You can replace the vanilla pod with grated lemon or orange zest.
You can also flavor the shortcrust pastry with matcha tea or chocolate chips.
