GG's Shortbread Cookies image

My husband's grandma has been making these delicious cookies for as long as he can remember. They are a family favorite and by far the best shortbread any of us have ever tasted. They're loaded with butter, dipped in sugar, and baked to a crispy perfection.

Time 30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup cornstarch
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 egg
¼ cup white sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat butter, 1 1/2 cup white sugar, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; mix in cornstarch and 2 cups flour. Make a well in the center of the dough; add egg and mix well. Knead the remaining 1 cup flour into dough using your hands until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Pour 1/4 cup white sugar into a bowl; dip top of each ball in sugar. Arrange balls on a baking sheet. Slightly flatten each ball using the bottom of a drinking glass.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they still have a good flavor.
