Recipe Review-Red and Green Christmas Shortbread

[cookie1]

That's fine ILB. It's simply another way of bumping it up. At least we all love them. DH has taken a batch to car club this morning. Apparently the guys there always ask him what he's brought for morning tea from 'that machine'. He's also taken some of Karen's Mums fruit cake.

Maybe next year I'll post something re the Jazz Festival. Brown Brothers have recently been awarded with appreciation as they are the only sponsors that have sponsored the Jazz Festival evey year since it first began.  It is a massive weekend for Wangaratta. Accommadation is booked 12 months out and they actually billet people out to stay with local families. 

Good work with the bickies then

Might have to camp on your front lawn 

LOL - there's no front lawn but a huge back yard you're welcome to pitch a tent in.  Hopefully by the time the next one rolls around I'll be in a bigger place with a spare room

You'll need more than one room for all the from folk to come for the weekend

Oops - it hadn't left my outbox - so sorry! It's on its way to you now.

First in, best served for the spare room & the couch, everyone else can BYO tent to pitch in the back yard   And at least everyone will know that they'll be greeted wih the familiar chime of the Themomix

I made these today and OH yum.  Very very nice and so easy.  I did however do one batch plus a half - way too much for TMX to cope with, not a good idea!

Shortbreads will keep for how long do you reckon?

[I Love Bimby!]

I think theese will last for about 2 weeks or so without chocolate in an airtight container. With chocolate it will need to be kept in the fridge (for about a week or a little longer.).

Beautiful shortbread.  Loved the red from craisins and green from pistachios.  I didn't dip in the white chocolate, which meant the biccies were made with no worries at all.  5/5

Lovely photo cecilia.

That's kind of you to say, KimmyH.  I've just been chomping on shortbread.  I only ate the uneven ones last night but couldn't resist getting into the saved ones today.  Oh dear!  Christmas has come early.

I just found the recipe for these online:

Enjoy!

I wish I'd read the original review before I started because my log was very large and my dough very soft. The biscuits are a bit outsize, but they still taste yummy. I guess they'll taste even yummier when they're dipped in white chocolate! I loved the ones at the Festive Flavour Cooking Class...

Thanks for the reminder, I must make some of these. They are lovely.

Made these to put out for Santa on Christmas Eve and they were a hit!  Took the rest to the family Christmas lunch where they were served with coffee & tea after Christmas lunch.  I even had one person tell me I should make them to sell at markets so I was pretty chuffed with that.  

The only thing I found was that I ran a bit short of white chocolate to dip them in...I'd consider using 200g next time instead of the 150g.

Otheriwse, a really nice recipe, highly recommended!
