Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: extra powdered sugar for dusting
Now, let’s get baking! Here’s how to make your Shortbread Cookies:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or a spatula; whatever floats your boat!
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing to combine.
- Slowly add the all-purpose flour and cornstarch, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as we want our cookies to be tender!
- Once your dough is formed, shape it into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Press each ball gently with a fork or the palm of your hand to flatten them slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden color. Keep an eye on them—they can go from golden to burnt in a heartbeat!
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you want that extra touch, dust them with powdered sugar once they cool down!
And there you have it! A simple, scrumptious recipe to bring smiles to your face and joy to your taste buds. Enjoy your Shortbread Cookies with a nice cup of tea or coffee, and share them with family and friends. Happy baking!
