Raspberry and White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
Surprise your special someone on Valentine’s Day with these Raspberry and White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies. They are sweet and buttery, and so easy to make, using only 7 simple ingredients. While I’ve cut these into hearts, any shape can be used. Just give them a try!
Start off by making the dough. Press the dough ball into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about ¼ inch. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut 14 shapes for the bottoms of the cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat the process to create the tops, using a smaller cookie cutter to cut a heart out of the center of each shape. Space the cookies about half an inch apart on the baking sheet and chill while the oven preheats. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden brown. Make sure all the cookies have completely cooled before assembling.
To make the Raspberry and White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
