Classic Shortbread Cookies
A classic buttery and sweet shortbread cookie
Servings: 60 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter (softened)
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the flour and salt, and stir until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Take one half and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes (I use a 1.5 inch round cookie cutter). Re-roll the scraps and keep cutting more shapes until you've used up all the dough. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
- Place the dough cut outs onto a parchment lined cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges just start to turn slightly golden brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
