2 cups butter softened/room temp
1 cup sugar confectioners/powdered (granulated or brown sugar can also be used)
Directions:
Directions:
Cream together butter and sugar, then slowly beat in flour.
Roll out thinly onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet, you can leave in a single sheet or slice and separate slightly. Alternatively, you can form into small balls and then press down onto a lined baking sheet.
For a classic shortbread look you can make intermittent fork holes on rolled out dough.
Bake at 350F for 10 - 12 minutes until turning a slight golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and if you’ve baked the cookies in a single sheet, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut into your preferred shape (I’m partial to rectangles) while they're still soft.
Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack, and enjoy!
