So I decided to make shortbread cookies. Flour, powdered sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla. Sounds easy enough.
Batch 1. I only found expired flour. I figured I’ll give it a try anyways. I suck at rolling dough out. And it came out nasty. Yeah, expired flour is no good. :|
Batch 2. I prepared the dough yesterday, and I baked them today. Not quite there yet with the prefect cookie. While I was trying to roll the dough flat, it kept on breaking up and then sticking to the silicone mat (which I floured). Someone online said that I need to use A LOT of flour when I’m rolling out dough, and that I have to make sure that it doesn’t get too warm otherwise it’ll get sticky. :\ I ended up patting them into roundish cookies with my hands instead. They taste better than the first batch of cookies. I’ll try again over the weekend. Batch 2 will go to my coworkers. The good cookies (hopefully in batch 3) will go to my friends.
