Holiday Shortbread Cookies image

What's great about basic buttery shortbread cookies is how you can add flavors to them. Or just leave them as is.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/3 cup coarse or sanding sugar (optional), for decorating

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, and salt; process until smooth. Add flour and pulse just until combined. Form dough into an 8-inch-long round or square log; wrap tightly in plastic and freeze until firm, 30 minutes (or up to 1 month).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Dip edges in sugar if desired and transfer to two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until cookies are golden brown around edges, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool 5 minutes on sheets. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were a bit dry.

I've tried many shortbread cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly buttery and crumbly. I highly recommend this recipe.
