- A note on butterFor all these whipped shortbread biscuits, we would rather leave out the butter immediately (even though the warmer your kitchen, the less time it will have to come up to temperature). The butter should be so malleable it can be dipped into using a spoon to make certain your batter gets tender enough to be piped.
- *peanut butter and the dough will combine, but it is going to create piping the rosettes harder. If this occur, allow the dough sit warm farther before continuing with piping.
