Ingredients:

For Shortbread Cookies

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt

For Icing

  • 1-2 tbsp milk or water
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Food coloring (optional)

Directions:

For Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before icing.

For Icing

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk/water in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Add vanilla extract and food coloring, if desired.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more milk (for thinner icing) or powdered sugar (for thicker icing).
