3 Ingredient Shortbread Cookies
These 3 Ingredient Shortbread Cookies are a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth delight that proves simplicity is pure magic.
The golden edges offer a subtle crispness, while the center remains soft and velvety, delivering a perfect balance of textures.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened (8 oz/225 g)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted) (2 oz/58 g)
- 2 cups all purpose flour (10 oz/280 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl cream together the soft butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the flour and mix until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a counter dusted with powdered sugar and gently roll the dough into a long two-by-two-inch log.
- Wrap the log of cookie dough in plastic wrap and allow it to firm up in the fridge for at least 60 minutes but up to 3 days.
- Once the dough is firm, slice the cookies into ¼-inch thick rounds. Place each round on your baking tray and bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until just golden.
- Allow cooling slightly before transferring to a cooling rack. Once cool the cookies can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
