Note**** these cookies don't spread out as much as you would think and so I would advise you to shape the cookies according to the size you want them to be after they are cooked.. They do however rise in the oven as they cook." - "Place them into your tray, and using a fork create holes which will allow the powdered sugar to sit in the cookies once baked and served." - "Bake in preheated oven for about 15 mins. At this point they would have only cooked from the inside... So the next thing you want to do is increase the temperature to 200C degrees and cooked them for about 5-10 mins or until golden brown from the top." - "Finally after they are cooked, cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving." - "With this recipe, the shortbread/cookie itself only contain 1 tsp of sugar, which means that you can control how much sugar you want when serving... Which is for sure one of the things I love about these cookies."
