In A Perfect Party<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, we learned that Lizzie Martin (Jenny’s younger sister from A Perfect Trade<\/strong><\/em><\/span>) has set up her own personalised cookie business, called Lizzie’s Sweet Treats<\/span><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Since I know you all love recipes, here is Lizzie’s recipe for delicious, buttery shortbread cookies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ingredients: (approx 12 cookies)<\/strong><\/p>\n

150g self-raising flour
\n150g salted butter
\n50g golden caster sugar
\n1 tsp vanilla essence (optional)
\nCadbury\u2019s Chocolate Buttons or any chocolate pieces (optional)
\nCling-film or plastic wrap.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C\/350\u00b0F<\/li>\n
  2. Add flour, sugar and butter (plus vanilla) to food processor or mixer and pulse until mixture is like wet sand.<\/li>\n
  3. Lay out a large piece of cling-film on the counter and pour the mixture onto it.<\/li>\n
  4. Using the cling-film to help keep the mixture together, press and roll, until you have a long, solid roll of dough, wrapped in plastic.<\/li>\n
  5. Store in refrigerator for an hour.<\/li>\n
  6. Slice dough into \u00bc\u201d or \u00bd\u201d rounds and put onto a well-greased or sheet-lined baking tray.<\/li>\n
  7. Cook for approx 15 mins. Note: timing depends on how thickly you cut the rounds.<\/li>\n
  8. When cooked, use a spatula to slide onto a wire rack. Note: the cookies will be very soft when warm, so if they\u2019re too fragile, it\u2019s okay to let them cool on the tray for a few minutes to let them harden a little.<\/li>\n
  9. (Optional) While cookies are cooling, add chocolate button to the centre of each cookie.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: If you don\u2019t use metric measures, keep the flour, butter and sugar in the ratio of 3:3:1 (eg 6oz, 6oz, 2oz)<\/p>\n
