Bake

Shortbread Cookies

Preheat oven to 177 degrees celsius.

Cream together in a bowl:

1 cup of softened butter

2 tablespoons of vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon of salt

⅔ cup granulated sugar

Add and mix in:

2 ¼ cups flour

Divide cookie dough in half and form each half into about an 8 inch log.

Cover each log with plastic wrap and chill and refrigerate for 2 hours.

After cookie dough logs have been chilled, remove logs from the refrigerator and slice across the logs to make ¼ inch wide cookie slices.

Place cookie slices on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned. Watch carefully so they don’t overbake.

Cool on a wire rack and ENJOY!
