If using pastry cutters, spread the dough to a depth of approx. 12mm between 2 sheets of greaseproof paper.
Freeze for half an hour.
Remove the greaseproof paper and cut the dough into the desired shapes using different cutters.
Place the shortbread on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
Bake in a fan-assisted oven at 160°C for 17 minutes.

Chef’s tips
Choose Christmas-themed cutters (such as stars, Christmas trees, snowflakes and so on). The shortbread biscuits can be kept in a metal container for about 10 days.
Wholemeal flour is a healthier option as it has a lower glycemic index. However, you can also use the same quantities of pastry flour or plain flour.
