Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line two light-colored baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, and fluffed flour in a stand mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until a crumbly dough forms that holds its shape when squeezed.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and roll it between parchment paper to a thickness of 1/3 to 1/2 inch. Cut into 3-inch circles or desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  5. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Storage Directions for Shortbread Cookies

Stored cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container for 5 days on the counter, or up to 10 days in the fridge.
To freeze after baking– allow to cool to room temperature. Place in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature and serve.
To freeze before baking– I would suggest rolling out the dough and cutting into desired shapes before freezing. Flash freeze on a cookie sheet before placing in a freezer-safe, airtight container. When ready to bake, allow to sit out while the oven preheats, then bake as the recipe card indicates.
