Shortbread Cookie Recipe

This is my shortbread cookie recipe that I made in our very own Elder Hall.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups flour, plus more for the work surface
• 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 drops vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

Directions

• Combine the butter and the flour in a large bowl, and rub them together with your hands until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Add in the sugar, vanilla, and salt, and continue to mix together with hands.
• Knead until the dough comes together and is barely crumbly.
• Roll out the dough to be 1/2 inch thick. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut into shapes.
• Bake the cookies for 25 minutes at 275 degrees F.
• Enjoy :)
