Easy Shortbread Cookies

How to make easy and delicious shortbread cookies.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup (softened) butter
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. In a stand mixer, combine all of the ingredients.  Blend on a high speed for about five minutes.  It will seem as though the mixture will never come together, but just wait, the ingredients will eventually blend into perfect cookie dough.  

  3. Knead cookie dough and roll out onto a floured surface.  Cut desired shapes and place on a parchment paper-covered cookie sheet.

  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown at the edges.  Let cook land decorate with royal icing or any other desired toppings.
