Shortbread Cookies
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (option for gluten-free)
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325° F. Line two lightly colored baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, sugar, vanilla, and flour. Mix slowly until a crumbly dough forms.
Form the dough into a ball and roll it to about 1/3-1/2-inch thick. Cut using a cookie cutter of your choice and place onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake until the bottoms of the cookies are barely golden brown. Allow to cool completely before storing.
