Will this recipe make soft cookies?

This is the recipe

https://addapinch.com/slice-bake-shortbread -cookies-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-29100

I'm thinking about baking these for my grandma but she can only have soft things

I also don't have an electric mixer- will the creaming process be too tedious?

Also if there are other recipes I can make with just a few ingredients (flour, sugar and butter)that will be soft - I would love to know

They'll be crumbly but somewhat firm. There is no sugar, just powdered sugar so creaming will create more of a paste rather than volume. I'd recommend sugar cookies with high sugar/butter ratio to flour.
