Description

Shortbread Cookies. From Alissa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) butter, soft
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 2 cups (250g) flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Beat butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir in flour until a soft dough forms.
  3. Press into an 8-inch pan, dock with a fork, score wedges, and bake 30 to 35 minutes until the edge is gold.

Notes

Pale is correct. A deep brown shortbread tastes toasted, not sandy.
