Directions: |
Directions:1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and confectioners' sugar for 3-4 minutes. Don't skimp on the beating time for light textured cookies. Add flavorings at this point (if adding) and give it a whirl too.
2. Next add in sifted flour and cornstarch in the bowl and beat only till combined.
3. Chill the dough for about 2 hours in the fridge, or till it's firm to touch. Pro Tip: To speed up this process, you may chill the dough in freezer until firm.
4. Roll into 36 cookie balls, press their tops with a cornstarch dipped fork and top with sprinkles.
5. Set the cookies on a lined baking tray and allow to chill in the freezer till you preheat the oven. I usually bake 12 cookies on a tray at a time.
6. When ready to bake preheat oven at 300 deg F and bake cookies for 19-20 minutes. Or till their tops look set.
7. Allow to cool on the baking tray. |

Storing Information: Whipped shortbread can be stored in an airtight container at room temp up to a week. For longer storage, you may store them in fridge for another week. Allow to come to room temperature before serving!
Freezing instructions: Both baked and unbaked cookies can be stored in the freezer. To freeze unbaked cookie balls, keep the balls on a tray in freezer till they firm up. Store them in zip loc bag then. No need to thaw before baking. Just add a minute more to the baking time. Baked cookies can be stored in an airtight freezer friendly container for up to 2 months. Thaw the cookies before serving.
To Amplify the flavor: These cookies are not super sweet to taste. So if you like to amp up their flavor profile. Top them off with melted chocolate or a Hershey's Kiss on every cookie or even Candy cane Kisses taste so good with these. Place a cherry in their center. Make a dent and top with jams and preserves of your choice before baking.
