Traditional Shortbread Wedges image

While these tender-crisp, butter-rich cookies were once associated mainly with the holiday season, they are now a year-round favorite.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, sugar, and salt into a bowl. Place butter into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl. Gradually add flour mixture; beat until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees, with rack in upper third.
  • Using plastic wrap, press dough into a buttered 10-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. With plastic on dough, refrigerate 20 minutes. Remove plastic wrap. Cut dough into eight wedges with a paring knife. Using a wooden skewer, prick all over at 1/4-inch intervals.
  • Bake until golden brown and firm in center, about 1 hour. Transfer pan to a wire rack. Recut shortbread into wedges; let cool completely in pan. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

These shortbread wedges are a great make-ahead dessert. I like to make a batch and then freeze them. That way, I always have something sweet on hand when I need it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shortbread wedges turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used some more spices or flavorings.
