Shortbread

The most buttery, melt-in-the-mouth cookies! Oh and not to mention, that they are super easy and quick to bake.

  • 250g soft, unsalted butter (I use Lurpak)

  • 125g sifted, icing sugar (powdered sugar)

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 400g sifted, plain flour

Ingredients:

  1. Cream butter until light and fluffy.

  2. Add icing sugar and mix well.

  3. Mix in vanilla and salt.

  4. Mix in flour. The dough will have a crumbly consistency.

  5. Using your hands, combine the dough into a ball or rectangular prism. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  6. Roll dough into balls or cut cookie slices and place onto a lined baking tray.

  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden.

  8. Enjoy!

Method:

Arranged on a cooling rack are freshly baked, square-shaped sugar cookies with slightly rounded edges, golden-brown on the sides and lighter in the center.
