Kids' jam shortbread

Preparation stepsTotal time: 54 min

   Dough30 min

   

   In a mixing bowl, combine a classic shortbread dough, then 30 minutes in the fridge. Stir from the center outward until smooth, with no dry pockets at the bottom. Press plastic wrap onto the surface to stop a skin forming, and chill it away from the back wall of the fridge. This rest is part of the total time.
