These Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies are buttery, crumbly, and simply delightful. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delicious cookies to enjoy with your favorite hot beverage.
Ingredients: 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened. 1/2 cup powdered sugar. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the bowl and mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each part into a log, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chilled dough logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container. Enjoy your delicious Slice and Bake Shortbread Cookies!
