Search online, you will notice that shortbreads are usually baked round in shape, rarely stamp out cookies or other shapes.
However nowadays, shortbreads are sold in many different type of shapes and sizes to meet the customers demands.
Besides plain flour and baking powder are used, the main ingredients that make the difference between shortbreads and cookies are corn flour and rice flour to produce a crumbly and soft texture.
Corn flour or corn starch is used in shortbread recipes in order to induce a crumbly and melt in the mouth cookie. In addition you will be surprise that although corn flour is white in color, once you mix it with water, it turns yellow instantly and sticky dough.
I decided to add in chopped roasted macadamia nuts because my son loves these nutritious nuts which is full of fibre and he was more keen of the crumbly, chewy cookies.
I was glad that he liked the Macadamia Shortbreads very much which I am sure that the outlook of the shortbreads had attracted his attention.
What I did was to roll the dough thinly, cut them into rectangular shapes that look alike finger biscuits and drizzle with melted dark chocolate with icing sugar.
Once the chocolate drizzle is set and harden, remember to chill the shortbreads into the fridge because it will melt when the chocolate started to melt.
Yield: 20-30 shortbreads
