Sugar cookies are a lighter dough that is better for cutting and decorating. We all love decorating Christmas Cookies, and sugar cookie dough is best for that. Shortbread cookies, on the other hand, are denser.

Sugar cookies are traditionally sweeter tasting than Shortbread cookies. Shortbread cookies are made with more butter, so they have a richer taste. The essential ingredients are the same for both cookies, but the ratios are different, producing two different cookies, but both are delicious!

Shortbread cookies are not soft and chewy like other cookies. Instead, they have a buttery and crunchy texture when they are done baking.

If you are used to baking (and eating) cookies, you will know that sugar cookies and shortbread cookies have a different flavor profile, different textures, and different ingredients.

Shortbread cookies do not contain eggs. They are also baked longer and at a lower temperature, which gives them a more crumbly texture. Also, the dough is not elastic, so does not shrink when rolled out

Butter Cookies are made from an equal kind of dough as shortbread, but eggs are added, along with a higher amount of fats, like butter. They are more elastic and usually more sugar in the recipe. Butter Cookies can be pipped out and still hold their shape.

I love the look of the designs on these cookies. Adding the color to the glaze really helps to highlight the design. You can get really creative when it comes to brush up your old fashioned christmas cookies.

I love the versatility of shortbread cookies. The flavor is mild which allows us to add flavor to the glaze, dip them in chocolate, or top them with buttercream.

Here, I’ve dipped a few in melted chocolate and added some Christmas sprinkles for a fun pop or color. You can use any chocolate you like, as well as baking chocolate glaze.

This sugar glaze is light and thin. Think of a thin doughnut glaze and not a heavy royal icing glaze. To ensure a thin, even coat you will need to heat the water and sugar together in a frying pan.

You can add a drop of extract to the glaze if you want to add in some flavor. Continue to turn the heat on as the mixture cools and hardens over and off when it melts completely again.

To get this lovely watercolor look, add a drop of gel food coloring to the sugar in the pan. Swirl the color a bit with a toothpick and then dip the cookie down into the glaze.

This is an excellent dough. It rolls out very easily without sticking to the rolling pin at all. It holds the pattern well. The flavor is OK, but it absolutely needs vanilla. In the future, I will add 1 tsp. vanilla extract to the dough. The instructions aren't complete, unless my dough didn't behave properly. I used an electric hand mixer to make the dough, and it remained crumbly. I was easily able to form it into a ball with my hands, but it didn't form a ball on its own.

They were a bit bland... Almond extract would be great too. When I dipped them in the sugar, they took on that flavor. Any extract would be a great addition.
