Thermomix Almond Shortbread Recipe

If you are looking to make something a little different to leave out for Santa this year, this Thermomix Almond Shortbread recipe is for you!  This Almond Shortbread is deliciously buttery and the crunch of almonds throughout makes it hard to stop at just one piece!

When making shortbread, it's really important to roll your dough on a cool bench, otherwise the butter will soften too much and make the dough sticky and difficult to work with.

It's also important to remember that your cooking time will vary depending on the size of the cookie cutter that you use. I recommend checking your shortbread after 10 minutes and then every 2 minutes after that as it doesn't take long to overcook it.
