Italian butter cookies are delicious, iced with dark chocolate and decorated with pistachio granules, candied cherries, jam and dried coconut. These Italian butter cookies are made using the classic ‘whipped shortbread’ technique. The butter is whipped until creamy and fluffy and then combined with the other ingredients. This type of shortcrust pastry makes the biscuits crumbly and they melt in your mouth with every bite! These biscuits are really delicious and will appeal to the whole family, and in a box they make a lovely gift idea. They can also be made with lactose-free butter or margarine in the same quantities as classic butter for those who are lactose intolerant.
