Orange Mint Shortbread 

Makes 16


1/2 cup (113 grams) organic salted butter, softened

71 grams (1/2 cup) organic powdered sugar, sifted

2 teaspoon organic orange flavor (like Frontier Co-Op)

1/2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract

191 grams (1 1/2 cups) organic all purpose flour

6 to 8 Orange Mint Leaves

Organic cane sugar for dusting


Method Finely chop the Orange Mint Leaves, or you can use regular mint as well.


In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, powdered sugar, orange flavor and vanilla extract. Mix on low until it is combined, you will still see chunks of butter at this stage and that is fine, do not over mix.


Add the flour and mint leaves to the butter mixture and mix on low. This will seem like it’s not coming together, but mix until it almost does.


On a piece of plastic wrap dump out the dough and shape it into a log. It should start to come together more the more you shape it. The log should be a rectangle that is about 6 x 2 x 2 inches. Wrap it completely in plastic wrap. You can even shape it more and a little better once it’s completely wrapped, especially make the sides smooth by forming it after it’s wrapped. Place the log in the fridge overnight.


Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.


Trim off the edges and slice the dough log into about 16 cookies that are about 1/4 inch thick. Place on prepared cookie sheets about 1-inch apart.


Bake for 13 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar immediately after they come out of the oven.


Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.


High Altitude – Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Timing is vitally important for Slice Master every move in the game. You touch to send your knife up, and you have to figure out the right angle and position to avoid obstacles and strike breakable tiles.

I love how easy the recipe is, and that tip about <a href="https://www.crazy-cattle-3d.run/">Crazy Cattle 3D</a> game shaping the dough log after wrapping it is super helpful.
