[quote=Anonymous]I bake a lot. I think people go wrong on cookies in three ways: 1) they don’t have a mixer and pick a recipe that calls for creaming the butter and the sugar. You really need a mixer or great biceps to make that work 2) they forget to bring the butter to room temperature and they try to use it cold or melt it instead. That won’t work. To bring your butter to room temperature quickly, cut it into .5” or so slices, spread them out on a plate, and microwave 20 seconds at a time. 3) they try to make ingredient substitutions on the fly Also, most of us just don’t like shortbread. Sorry. Do your flour by weight, it’s much easier. [/quote]
