Directions: |
Directions:Beat butter with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Slowly add sugar & continue beating. Blend salt and flour. Add flour, about 1 cup at a time, to the butter. Mix until dough is smooth & soft. On a sheet of parchment, roll or pat the dough into an even layer of about 10" x 15". Score the dough into 1" x 1-1/2" pieces. With a fork, pierce each piece in three places on a diagonal. CHILL.
Cut the chilled dough through the scored lines. Arrange the fingers on the baking sheets about an inch apart.
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325º.
Reduce heat to 300º and bake for 20 minutes. Turn pans halfway round and switch their positions on the racks and bake another 14 - 16 minutes. Remove pans and cool on rack for 5 minutes.
The shortbread will keep for a month between layers of waxed paper in an air-tight container. |
