Shortbread Cookies are the epitome of simple elegance, with a rich, buttery flavor and crumbly texture. These classic cookies are perfect for tea time, holiday treats, or a sweet snack. With just a few ingredients, these cookies are both easy to make and irresistibly delicious.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and light in texture. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Shape the Cookies: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a disk. You can either cut the dough into rounds using a cookie cutter or simply roll the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly with a fork or your fingers.
Chill the Dough: If desired, place the shaped cookies on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help them maintain their shape during baking.
Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
