    Hi, I like how u decorate it with the cherries, so pretty! Are the cookies crunchy type and very buttery taste? U thing I could use buttercup instead of SCS butter and still have a nice butter aroma?

    Hope to hear from u soon :)

      Hi BeautyMe,

      You need to slice the red and green cherries into thin slices before decorating. The cookies are not meant to be crunchy. Using SCS will give you a rich and buttery taste. So far I have not substituted it with any other brand of butter.

    Hi, I have baked these shortbread and I liked the buttery taste. Just that I find its quite crumbly and not crunchy, is that suppose to be? I already baked for another 5 mins more (25mins), could baking longer make it more crunchy?
