Shortbread Cookie Ingredients
Method
Baking Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Incorporate Vanilla
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once chilled, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
