Simple Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup superfine sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
To prepare the baking dish, cover it with aluminum foil, ensuring that you leave an overhanging edge on all sides. This will make it easier to remove the baked goods afterwards.
3
Mix together butter and sugar until you achieve a coarse, sandy consistency. Gradually incorporate flour into the mixture using a spoon.
4
Knead the dough briefly, resulting in a crumbly texture rather than a smooth one. Press the dough evenly over the bottom of your prepared pan.
5
Use a fork to prick the dough all over, creating small holes for even baking.
6
Bake the cookies in your preheated oven until they are set, approximately 45 minutes.
7
While the cookies are still warm, use a knife to create scoring lines on their surface.
8
Remove the foil and let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, break them apart along the lines you created earlier.
