No!. While the best shortbread cookies are mixed with the fingers, you may use a fork!. NEVER use an electric mixer to make shortbread !.!.!. the mixing blades will 'toughen' the dough and the cookies will be far too hard to eat!. Shortbread is called that because it's mixed quickly with the fingers or a fork so it's 'soft' and crumbly!. You do not need an electric mixer or even a hand mixer!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Of course you don't!. So many recipes today say mix with electric mixer or big mixer with dough hooks or whatever!. We seem to be forgetting that most of these goodies and the recipes they came from were here long before Grandma had electricity in her kitchen!. All you need to do is get a big fork or spatula and mix it up with good old muscle power till it looks smooth and lump free!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always have started with a mixer than finished with kneading!. Guess you could just mix it with a spoon as well as you can than knead it!. Kneading is a must with this recipe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You should be able to do them by hand, with a wooden spoon - and then knead them with your hands!. Cookies don't need the intensive mixing that cakes require - just be sure you cream the butter & sugar well (butter should be room temp)Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you don't have good arm strength then yeah!.!.!. You do!.!.!.
They are pretty cheep at Target or Walmart!.!.!.
I can whip eggs and cream by hand but my friend Stacy, who has NO arm strength, couldn't do it to save her life!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
