Ingredients:

For Shortbread Cookies

Directions:

For Cookies

  • 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.
