These yummy shortbread biscuits are made in the food processor and couldn't be an easier bake.

It's a bung it all in and blitz it recipe, and these are the kind of recipes I love.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING FOOD PROCESSOR SHORTBREAD


Add the milk gradually down the funnel and pulse until a soft dough forms.

Any shape goes with these. I decided to make shortbread hearts, but if you only have round cookie cutters then that's fine. They will still taste great!

Sprinkle the shortbread with caster sugar when they are just out of the oven. If I'm giving these to the kids I sometimes don't bother with this step, they are already sweet enough.

    That looks like a really nice food processor. I broke my mini-one last week making carrot sauce & need to find a replacement
