@mmouse37- do you mind sharing the recipe for the grinch cookies? I made one last year and found it very bland. I know most of them use cake mix but they all seem to differ a tiny bit. I’m debating on just making one with cake mix and hoping it’s not the recipe I used last year or trying a non cake mix version I found. DS is requesting them as his one cookie choice this year.
I am a big shortbread fan and often make that too. I find the overall taste similar but the texture is lighter and it almost dissolves in your mouth. It is easy to make and I think they look festive. I make the whipped shortbread, roll into one in balls then add the colored sugar/sprinkles. I let the dough sit overnight in the fridge and bake the next day. I find it holds the shape better if the dough is really cold. I also only bake mine for 15-16 minutes. This is the recipe I use. It makes a lot, sometimes I cut it in half.I need to ask...how does whipped shortbread compare to a more traditional shortbread? I usually opt for a standard shortbread instead of sugar cookies (we don't do a ton of cookies for the holidays). It's a dense cookie, but it holds its shape really well for rolling and cookie cutters. The recipe is essentially butter, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla. The whipped shortbread recipes I'm seeing involve confectioners' sugar and cornstarch, in addition to flour and butter. Still, I'm always looking to try something new if it isn't too complicated, so I was curious.

Whipped shortbread
Would you mind sharing the recipe? I'd love to try to bake something like that when my sweet tooth hits. It doesn't hit very often but something like that sounds really good for when it does.Baked a diabetic-friendly birthday cake yesterday from a keto banana caramel mix. I was very happy with the results!

at Walmart, I think? ...followed the directions on the package except baked it in an 8 in square pan instead of a muffin tin. (I started with 25 minutes, checked with a toothpick, then needed to add a bit more time.) I used Sugar-free CoolWhip as the frosting.
