RE: REVEAL: The Final Birthday Cookie-Cake Creation!!!
Not from your part of the world, but really liking easy recipes - and this looks sooo easy, I have 2 questions: what do you consider / use as shortening in addition butter? What is white flour as opposed to wheat flour? Love your creativity, @byn!
I have used 'shortening' or lard or coconut oil with good results.
Here we have white (bleached/refined) flour and whole wheat flour which is less... fine? I can't use too much or the cookies become dry and crumbly, but with the proportions I listed, they turn out just right (IMO) but you can also just use regular white flour for the whole recipe as well.
Thanks for reading!
That's really helpful. Because of feeding vegetarians, I have to be careful of lard, but coconut oil would work or a product called Holsum (which probanly isn't!). Thanks, @byn
