Christmas is approaching and I am eager to prepare fragrant desserts like cookies and tarts. I thought of making these treats using a special, fragrant shortcrust pastry without butter. The Christmas shortcrust pastry without butter is a simple and quick recipe, requiring only a few basic ingredients like eggs, sugar, sunflower oil, flour, and orange zest. Once the dough is made, you can immediately start working by involving your family to create many cookies with Christmas shapes and decorations. You can prepare the Christmas shortcrust pastry in advance and freeze it, so you have it ready for use at any time, whether to prepare some dessert or to make others and use them as Christmas gifts.
