How delicious are whipped shortcrust cookies!!!!! I made them chubby and only dipped in chocolate, but we can glaze them with royal icing, sprinkle them with colorful sugar sprinkles, and make them in any shape and size!
They are a great classic that everyone generally likes, and in every bakery, we find large quantities with pistachio granules, with candied cherries… in short, we can vary the taste and shape as we please!
Personally, we are not big cookie consumers in our family, not because we don’t like them but simply because if we have them at hand, we eat them all quickly!
I’ll leave you with some other cookie recipes to see if any of them tickle your fancy!

- Baking pans
- Parchment paper
- Bowls
- Stand mixers
FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE WHIPPED SHORTCRUST COOKIES RECIPE
1) In a large bowl or in the stand mixer, I place the cold, cubed butter then add the powdered sugar and vanilla essence (my recipe to make vanilla extract you can read here)
2) Start whipping to obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
3) Add the whole egg and the yolk, mixing again to incorporate everything for at least 2/3 minutes.
4) It’s time to add the sifted flour with the potato starch, always mixing and then adding the milk. As mentioned below, I needed to add extra milk to get the right consistency to come out of the piping bag… just saying!
5) Take disposable piping bags and fill them with the mixture, then start making whipped shortcrust cookies using a serrated nozzle of about 0.4 inch and shape them directly on the baking tray lined with parchment paper.
6) Make the cookie shapes you like, such as esses, horseshoes, alphabet letters, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 12/13 minutes… keep an eye on them, please!
Delicious these whipped shortcrust cookies…
Enjoy your meal!

1) Make rings, esses, horseshoes, alphabet letters… THE KEYWORD is unleash your creativity!
2) Personally, following the recipe, I added a little more milk than the amount to make the mixture manageable with the piping bag…
