BOLINHOS DE AREIA
Literally, “sand cookies”
An old recipe for shortbread cookies from Macau.
Bolinhos de Areia, adapted from Sedaliza Luiz.
7 oz | 200g butter
4 oz | 120g sugar
10½ oz | 300g plain flour
Knead thoroughly the butter with the flour and then the sugar until all is well blended.
Make small cookies by hand and with the handle of a wooden spoon press the centre to form a hollow.
Place on a flat tray (there is no need to grease the tray) and bake at 180° for about 20 minutes.
