Mango Shortbread Cookies

Author:: special food

I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my favourite recipes with the world.

Say it with flowers - this time not with real flowers, but with mango shortbread cookies in the shape of a flower. A sweet gift that will surprise those who receive it.

Sweet pastry For approx. 70 pieces.

Ingredients

60 g of dry mango
250 g made with flour
1 dam of salt
100 g of sugar
125 g of butter soft
1 egg
icing
80 g of powdered sugar
5 tsp of mango sauce
a few drops of orange food coloring, to taste
40 g of dry mango

Instructions

Finely chop the dried mango wedges. Mix the mango with the flour, salt and sugar. Stir in the butter and the egg and mix everything together. Wrap the paste in cling film and put it in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. Roll out the dough on a little flour into a sheet of approx. 5 mm thick. Cut out some flower-shaped cookies and transfer them to baking sheets lined with baking paper. Knead the remains again, put them briefly in the fridge and roll them out again until the dough is finished. Bake the biscuits in the centre of the oven for approx. 10 minutes, one tray after another. Remove the biscuits from the trays and let them cool.
For the glaze, mix the icing sugar with the mango sauce and a few drops of colouring. Generously brush the cookies with the icing. Finely chop the dried mango wedges and distribute them in the centre of the biscuits. Let the icing dry completely, best overnight.
