More tips
You can prepare a large quantity of dough and freeze it to make your shortbread at the last moment.
Shortbread can be stored in a box 1 week with icing and a little more without icing…
Finally if you manage not to eat everything before!
Adapt the cooking of the little shortbread biscuits according to your tastes: more or less cooked.
Obviously, the icing is not essential, some do not like it and prefer without.
Anyway, I love it!
If you find the frosting difficult to make, know that there is a ready-made paste called royal icing.
