Melted Butter Cookies for New Year 2014

No christmas or New Year would be the same without these delightful buttery and crisp shortbread cookies! Plus, they are extremely easy to make and have very few ingredients.(pls refer to my Traditional Scottish cookies recipe)They are not low in calories, but they make a delicious treat at special times of the year. Shortbread cookies can be made in a variety of shapes, whatever the shape you decide to use- i have given a few ideas in the recipe - the taste will remain the same . . . Meltingly light and buttery . These make ideal gifts, and as they are made with butter, they last for quite a while. Pack them up in an attractive box, tin or cellaphane bag and attach a tartan bow and a sprig of heather for a true Scottish feel to them ! HAPPY 2014!

Strawberry Ice-Cream BOMB Cake

Strawberry bome cake for 7inch stainless bowl. First slice strawberry. It should be finely sliced because when frozen even very finely sliced strawberries could be pretty hard. Then line plastic wrap inside of a dome mold. And tightly arrange strawberry slices in the stainless mold. And freeze. Now make vanilla ice cream. Whisk non fat whipping cream until stiff. Now slowly spread swirls in the mold. Make sure the strawberry slice is completely frozen by now, otherwise the ice cream mixture will get leaked out through the strawberry. Then smooth the cream a little and freeze for one hour to make it set. For strawberry cream filling, whip half cup whip cream until stiff. Add chopped strawberry and fold to combined. Pour the mixture into the center mold. Then pour the remainder vanilla batter on top and clean with an off-set spoon and freeze overnight.
