While in Javea Carol, one of the daughters of my friend Cris, made me some Shortbread Cookies or cookies which are my favorite. Carolina is only 8 years old and since she was younger has developed a natural flair for cooking. She enjoys very much and is great to see how she bakes perfectly recipes that many of my friends would not be able to make.

One of his favorite recipes are (Shortbread Cookies), butter cookies, shortbreads that are very popular in the United Kingdom. They are baked at a low temperature to maintain its pale cream color and which must be sin because they are simply delicious.

Carol form them with your hands and not complicates the lives of, then it makes the holes and when you have those lists asks for help to put them in the oven and alerts when they should remove them. A crack that I am sure will come very far! Shortbread Cookies today are cookies from Carol and I dedicate to it with all my love today's post.

1. in a bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter at high speed for about 4 minutes until butter is creamy and smooth.
2. Then add the sugar carefully: the best thing to do is to add it and mix with an spatula at very low speed until no trace of sugar is left. Then increase speed and mix for two minutes.

8. Cover dough with a plastic wrap and with help of the hands placed on the plastic wrap, distribute the dough so that it is flat and uniform. Leave the dough on the fridge for an hour.

11. With the help of a toothpick mark holes over the entire surface of the dough.
12. bake the Shortbread Cookies to 150 degrees (heat up and down, not with air) during a hour and 20 minutes (depending on the oven equal need more or less time, but is important that the cookie not is dore). You will know it is done when the edges begin to brown slightly.
