Tali Campbell, general manager of the Coquitlam Express, shares his grandmother's holiday shortbread recipe.

The Christmas season is about family, friends and fellowship. It’s also about food — from grand feasts of turkey and stuffing to boundless snacks stretching our belts.

In the spirit of the holidays, the Tri-City News recently asked some of the people you read about to share their favourite must-try recipes.


It’s simple, but it never tastes the same as when Granny made them.

 

Ingredients

  • Two (2) cups of all-purpose flour 
  • ½ cup of granulated sugar
  • One (1) cup of unsalted butter 
  • One (1) pinch of salt

 

Directions

Let the butter come up to room temperature, then cream it with a mixer.

Add the sugar while still mixing on low.

Scrape the bowl, then add the flour and a pinch of salt, while still mixing on low.

When all the ingredients are mixed, transfer the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a brick or tube. Wrap it in plastic and chill in the fridge until firm.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and cut it into cookie slices.

Place this onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 10 minutes.
