Classic Buttery Shortbread Cookies

★Ingredients

1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar

1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt (optional)

★Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, folding until you get a smooth dough.

Scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into small discs or use a cookie cutter for uniform shapes.

Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between them.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.

Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).
  • Enjoy!
