Delicately sweet, buttery shortbread crafted from three simple ingredients with a tender, crumbly texture.
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
03 - Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
04 - Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it until it just comes together.
05 - Roll the dough out to approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles, rounds, or desired shapes.
06 - Place the cookie shapes on the prepared baking sheet spacing them about 1 inch apart. Prick each cookie several times with a fork.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges just begin to turn golden but not brown.
08 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
