Stress Baking Series: Shortbread Cookies


Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°
  2. In the bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer, beat butter and vanilla until creamy.
  3. Add salt and powdered sugar to butter.  Continue to beat.
  4. Add flour and continue beating.  You might have to finish combining the flour by hand.  Sprinkle with a little water if you have trouble getting the mixture combined.
  5. Once the mixture is combined, Roll cookie dough onto a floured surface and cut.
  6. Place cookies on a parchment sheet lined baking pan and bake until edges just begin to brown.  

Notes

No need to refrigerate the dough.  Mix, roll, and bake!Chocolate chips and or pecans add a nice addition to this recipe.

Be careful not to over bake.  Just a light brown around the edge is all you want.

These cookies can be made ahead and stored in a cookie tin.

They freeze beautifully.  Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.  Remove the packaged cookies from the freezer and let come to room temperature before removing from the bag.
