Call me sad but I always get a little excited when I come across a new cookie cutter. So imagine my excitement when I came across an Eat Me cookie stamp in Hobbycraft. It had to go straight in my basket.

The stamp even comes with its own little recipe, but I decided to use my tried and tested shortbread recipe.

I’m actually glad I took a before picture because the Eat Me was not as clear once they were baked. So maybe I should have pressed harder?

My imagination swept me off the Alice in Wonderland while I ate them, and needless to say between me and hub they didn’t last long.

Anyway I feel I should share my shortbread recipe with you as its so easy and makes a lovely buttery, crumbly biscuit.

Ingredients

55g Caster Sugar

180g Plain Flour
