How to make shortbread
Make this delicious shortbread recipe. Remember that we’re going to start by listing all the ingredients, so start by separating all the ingredients and then the complete preparation method.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle.
Roll the chilled dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
Place the cut-out cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can decorate the cookies with icing, sprinkles, or leave them plain.
