Pandan Shortbread

After a short hiatus from blogging, I am back. Holiday seems to only makes you more lazy then feeling recharged. However, today I am in a baking mode feel like having some cookies and yet wanted something really simple and not time-consuming. I have bought back a bottle of Pandan Paste from Singapore, decided to experiment it by making Pandan Shortbread. Shortbread is one of the simplest cookies I have baked it uses only 3 basic ingredients-butter, sugar and plain flour. With Pandan Shortbread you add an additional ingredient-Pandan Paste, so a total of 4 ingredients. The baking process is really simple too, even a 10years old can bake it without much trouble.

Let's starts baking:

Ingredients:

2 Cups Plain flour

1/3 Cup caster sugar

160g Butter

3/4 Teaspoon Pandan Paste (optional-without it, it is just Shortbread)

1. Cream butter and sugar together until light and creamy.

2. Add in a Pandan Paste and mix well.

3. Add flour slowly until mixture resembles a ball of dough.

4. Roll out to desired thickness and cut it out into individual pieces using a cookie cutter.

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 10-12 minutes or till it turns lightly brown. Cool and serve.
