Hey there! This is my Tiger King cookie I turned a simple shortbread into the Tiger King, Joe Exotic! At a time like this I just want to do something fun and new. Cooking decorating is new to me. A little rusty but over all not bad. I used shortbread as a base cookie. It's buttery and not too sweet. Perfect pair with the already sweet royal icing that I am using to decorate the cookie. This shortbread recipe has only 3 ingredients: flour, butter and icing sugar. Everything is whipped together on a stand mixer and then chilled for 15 to 30 minutes. Whipped Shortbread 1 cup butter, softened 2 cups cake & pastry flour or all purpose flour 1/2 cups icing sugar Preheat oven to 325 F. Combine butter, sugar, and flour and mix with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (10 minutes or less). Gather up dough into a circle, then flatten with the palm of your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in fridge for 15 to 30 minut
