If All Else Fails. . . Bake

I love cooking and baking, all be it I'm not the best actually no where near to be honest, but at least I'm enthusiastic. Thing is I'm limited, I only enjoy cooking chocolate and things and I know I like . My number one favourite thing to cook with is chocolate . After that is's sweet things and things that aren't really the best for you. When Mike's over I find that I cook a lot more things, we've tried quite a few things.
When he was over this time he discovered shortbread biscuits and really liked them. So I decided to make some of my own. They are so easy to make.

All you need to make them is:

Before you start put your oven onto 190C
Then beat the butter and sugar together, you might need a whisk, unless you have massive biceps!
Stir the four into the mixture to make a paste.
Then on a work surface sprinkle some plain flour, this will stop the paste from sticking to it.
Gently roll out the mixture until it is about 1cm thick.
This is part where you get to have some fun, now you can cut the mixture into whatever shapes you want. I normally go for boring traditional rectangle shapes.
Place them onto a baking tray and sprinkle them with icing sugar and chill them in the fridge for 20 minutes.
After the 20 minutes bake them in the oven for around 15-20 minutes or until they slightly turn golden brown.
Set the aside to cool, then after that dig in and enjoy!

125g/4oz butter
55g/2oz caster sugar
180g/6oz plain flour

This normally makes 20-24 rectangle fingers.

These are the ones I made, as you can see I'm not the best at cutting straight lines, still they went down nicely.
