Shortbread Cookie Quilts Recipe
(adapted from Betty Crocker’s Cookie Quilt Table Runner)
-3 sticks butter, softened (plus ¼-½ stick if it’s too crumbly)
-2/3 cup sugar
-4 cup whole wheat flour
-green, red, and white decorative sugar
-red & green food coloring
Put the butter and sugar into an electric mixer with paddle attachment and mix until evenly combined. Add in 2 cups of the flour and mix on low until an even consistency. Blop out to a clean surface and slowly add in the remaining flour while squishing with your hands. If it’s too crumbly, add more butter, 1 tablespoon at a time until it becomes a nice dough.
Divide dough into 3 even pieces. Add red food coloring to one ball, and green to another, working it in slowly until it’s a uniform color (pro tip: wear gloves unless you want your hands red and green for a day).
Cut a sheet of waxed paper to fit neatly into an 8x8″ square pan with enough hanging off of two sides like handles. Put the dough of one color into the pan and push down until evenly rolled out into the square. Pull out of the pan and carefully flip over to a baking sheet. Repeat for the other two colors, creating three 8x8″ squares of dough.
Brush dough with water and sprinkle with colored sugar (optional).
Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut each square of dough into pattern shown in video.
Bake at 300 F for 20-25 minutes until the edges start to brown slightly. Remove from oven and promptly cut the lines again.
Cover 3 squares of 8x8″ cardboard with aluminum foil and assemble the pieces into quilts of your own design.
