I am a fan of the Scottish Shortbread cookies and wanted to try them at home and the result was awesome. Make sure you use the best, tastiest butter as that is the main ingredient here, responsible for the taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- A pinch of Salt
- 1/2 cup Butter at room temperature
- 1/4 cup powdered Sugar
- 1/2 tsp pure Vanilla extract
Method
- In a bowl beat the butter until soft and creamy. Add the Sugar, salt and vanilla extract and beat the ingredients till smooth. Stir in the flour and make a soft dough.
- You can make small balls of the dough or if you want to use the cookie cutter to shape the cookies, flatten the dough into a disc shape and cover it with a parchment paper and freeze it for 10 min. Then flatten the dough with a rolling pin to 1/4" thickness and use the cookie cutter to cut the cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line the cookie sheet with the parchment paper.
- Place the cookies on the cookie sheet and bake them at 350F for 10 min. These cookies will not brown much, so when the edges/ the bottom side turn a golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Yummy shortbread cookies ready to eat!!!
