Process of Mandarin Shortbread Cookies Recipe

Firstly, to prepare the cookie dough, combine the butter and the egg in a bowl. Add the mandarin juice, sugar, vanilla and the baking powder. Add the flour slowly and knead well. Get a soft dough.

Take mandarin size pieces from the dough and roll them on a plain surface. Press slightly on the rolled long dough pieces and make lines on it by using a fork. Then cut the long dough diagonally. Place them on a baking sheet in a tray.

Then continue with the dough left and bake them in the preheated oven at 180°C until their bottoms get golden for almost 10 or 15 minutes. Do not let them get golden brown. When they get cool enough in the tray, serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
