Episode 120: Butter Shortbread Dough

Ming's amazing Butter Shortbread Dough creates cookies that are simultaneously rich, sweet, crisp and a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Easy to make and then freeze for perfect cookies anytime, this master dough can be baked alone or with Ming's flavorful additions. Blending spices, chocolate, or nuts with this sweet buttery dough, Ming turns out delicious confections like Five Spice Shortbread, Double Chocolate-Ginger Shortbread, and Caramel Macadamia Nut Crunch Cookies. He is then joined by guest chef Tricia Karter from the Dancing Deer Baking Company, who prepares two uniquely-flavored treats: Pepita Lemon Cranberry Shortbread and Parmesan with Pinenuts.
